There are many editions of Handel's Messiah for which Handel was not the
arranger. I think the Schirmer edition was compiled and arranged by a
man named Coopersmith, so it is called the Coopersmith edition. It has
a clarinet part, but that does not mean that it is the edition that
Stacy=Michelle needs. Mozart's arrangement of the Messiah has a
clarinet part. You have to know exactly what edition you will be playing
and having a clarinet part from some other edition is not going to do
you any good.
