For what it's worth, a search on www.sheetmusicplus.com using "messiah
coopersmith" as search criteria shows only editions by Carl Fischer. A search
using "messiah clarinet schirmer" yields only one hit, that being for the Prout
arrangement. While sheetmusicplus isn't the definitive answer, it sure sounds
like it's the Prout you are looking for.

Still, the advice of others is very sound. Isn't it possible for you to contact
the director or fellow orchestra member to confirm which arrangement will be
used?

Regards,

Andy
