The Messiah: An Oratorio

This 1912 edition of "The Messiah" by G. F. Handel shows moderate wear, particularly on the cover edges. The spine and binding are intact, with no loose pages. The interior pages are clean and free from inscriptions or library markings. The absence of a dust jacket is typical for this type of publication.

"The Messiah: An Oratorio" by G. F. Handel, published by G. Schirmer in 1912, is a significant edition of this renowned classical work. This edition, Ed. 38, features a complete vocal score for a four-part chorus of mixed voices, including soprano, alto, tenor, and bass soli, with piano accompaniment. Edited by T. Tertius Noble and revised by Max Spicker, this publication maintains fidelity to Handel's original score. G. F. Handel, a pivotal figure in Baroque music, composed "The Messiah" in 1741, and it remains a staple in choral repertoires worldwide. This edition is printed in the U.S.A. and is part of G. Schirmer's Editions of Oratorios and Cantatas. The physical condition shows signs of age with some wear on the cover, but the pages remain intact and legible, making it a valuable acquisition for collectors and musicians alike.
