Marvelous!,
This review is from: Messiah in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
Handel's Messiah is one of my favorite works of all time. And nothing goes with a great recording of this exquisite music like a fantastic score - exactly what Dover has provided for us here. Dover sews their books (they don't glue), so you can count on this score's durability, and the print is legible (which can't be said for all music) so you don't have to search out the magnifying glass to read the notes. Masterful music in a high quality book and at a more-than-reasonable price. Do not delay in acquiring this score.

Wonderful book to have if you like to sing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Messiah in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book if you love to sing. Even if you just love the songs and have a copy of the concert on tape, now you can learn the words! My commumity has Messiah all sing concerts and even though I know the songs, it's always nice to have the music on hand. I ,personally, have been looking for this book everywhere!

Good, but Superseded,

This review is from: Messiah in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
This edition of Messiah by Alfred Mann dates from the early 1960s. It is a good edition at an excellent price. For the latest scholarship and all of Handel's variants, however, you should consider the 1998 Oxford University Press edition edited by Clifford Bartlett. For the best guide to the work, read "Handel: Messiah" by Donald Burrows in the Cambridge Music Handbook series.
