Particularly striking are several borrowings from the Messiah which Handel had just completed.This Barenreiter Urtext edition has been edited by the Baroque specialist Amanda Babington and is based on the Urtext from the Halle HandelEdition.First Urtext editionIncludes a Foreword (Eng/Ger)Straight-forward well-presented Piano reduction (Eng)Full score and performance material (BA10706) and vocal score (BA10706-90) available for sale
