Yes did what was required
by Dr. Christopher D. Morris
The paper is not as good quality as in former times and the binding margin is too small so it is difficult to make it stay open (especially on the piano). Musically I have no complaints

I’ve been asked to review this musical score but don’t know what to say! Handel wrote it and it’s a brilliant piece of music. It’s a score I’ve used before in a choir, which means it must be popular! I could have downloaded it from a link my online choir sent but as this score was a good price I decided it would be better to buy it. It is clearly printed and it arrived promptly.

Exactly as described and delivered very quickly
by K. Smith
I bought this after being asked to sing the Bass solos in the Messiah, and figured I really should buy my own copy, rather than relying on someone elses. I bought this, as I knew that it was the same edition the Organist was playing from, and also many of the singers. It’s so popular, it makes life a lot easier when finding a place “Page 153, Letter C” (or whatever), rather than having to ask the person next to you what the words are.
The book is good quality, with lots of references throughout it as to how Handel originally wrote passages, though some of them are weird and I think the alterations are good. It gives lots of different arrangements too, same piece for Soprano, Alto and Bass, so very useful for different parts.
My only criticism of this book is it can be a bit confusing with the different arrangements. Sometimes the Soprano version is followed directly by the Alto, so you have to skip a few pages for the next piece. However, you can write in the page numbers during your rehearsal, or put a little tab in or something if it bothers you that much. I think alternative arrangements should have been left to the Appendix, but each to their own.
TL:DR? Great book, good quality, know exactly where you are; rather than having to ask, go through it before the performance so you know when to skip something.
