Amazon.com Review
Anyone attending a Messiah sing-along is most likely to fit in when using this old favorite edition. The musicological work has been superseded by Watkins Shaw's edition for Novello, but his piano reductions are idiosyncratic. This piano-vocal score has no measure numbers or rehearsal figures, but the reduction is pianistic in scope. The choral lines are in smaller type but are workable. The price is of course also highly attractive. Listeners who truly love this work may be interested in the full orchestral score--also at a great price--from Dover, edited by Alfred Mann. --William R. Braun

A Fine Piano Score of Handel's Messiah' December 4, 2006
J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA)
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is pretty much the standard 'Messiah' piano/vocal score used in America. I've been using a copy of this edition for nigh on twenty years and it's gotten plenty of use; it is sturdy enough that it shows no sign of falling apart. The printing is clear and easy to read. There is no distracting German text as in some editions. The piano reduction is good and fairly easy to play. And the price is certainly right.

Our Chancle Choir preformed excerpts with guest soloist I wanted my own score. The quickness in receiving this was of utmost importance. I was delighted to receive a copy just like the ones purchased by our church. A beautiful score to own.

Messiah vocal score November 30, 2008
Valerie H. Brown (MOAB, UT United States)
This was exactly what I needed to participate in my community choir
performance of the Messiah.
i have two copies on my music shelf! May 2, 2009
C. Fernandez
extra copy is for family members who want to join in on the fun. i can't sing in choirs like i used to, but i still bust this out during the holidays, and sing along to any part when it comes on the radio.
if i feel like a tenor that day, well there's the tenor line. sounding soprano? there it is too...i've memorized most of the alto lines. and of course it has all the solos!
binding has held up well over the years.
