Subj: More Messiah
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 1995 11:50:59 -0500

Well, we've established that there are several arrangements of Messiah. Now
who can tell me the history or lineage of the edition I'm forced to play
year after year?

It is printed by G. Schirmer, and states:

The MESSIAH
composed by
G. F. HANDEL
Edited by E. Prout

It calls for extensive forces, 2s of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon,
horn,... Seems to be the standard version for public sing-along with
orchestra performances in the Baltimore/D.C. area.

Thanks,
Steve
