Hi Dan,=0A=0AI had gotten the idea that you were saying that Schirmer was C=
oopersmith in your 2003 note that I referred to.=A0 I see that JWPepper off=
ers 8 Messiahs, the Coopersmith is a Fischer Edition.=A0 But the Schirmer l=
ooks to be scored pretty thickly.=A0 I'll did into=A0it more and report her=
e later.=A0 =0A=0AI will say that sitting in front of the chorus, playing t=
his music, is a really great experience.=A0 If you happened through town to=
hear our performance, or if anyone from the list happens through, what a p=
leasure that would be!=A0 I'll buy the fudge; the place is called 'Apple Sh=
ed', Tehachapi, California.=A0 The date is December 14, 2009, 4PM, St. Mala=

t=0A=0AWayne, I do not know if the Schirmer Edition is the one done by Coop=
ersmith. It would be easy enough to contact whoever is running Schirmer now=
and ask. But I am confused.=A0 You say that you will do the Schirmer editi=
on this year and you call it the Mozart arrangement. I don't understand tha=
t.=A0 On one hand you seem uncertain, and on the other you seem to be of th=
e opinion that the Schirmer is the Mozart arrangement.=0A=0AWhen I played t=
he Mozart arrangement of the Messiah it was in a B=E4renreiter edition.=A0 =
And I do not know what the Schirmer edition alleges itself to be.=0A=0ABut =
if I am near Tehachapi when you do the performance, we shall have dinner to=

The Messiah and Mozart=0A=0A=0AI understand that a version of Messiah appa=
rently was partly reorchestrated by Mozart. This version includes clarinets=
. This year our orchestra, the Tehachapi Community Orchestra is again playi=
ng from this version, published by Schirmer. Following are two favorable NY=
Times reviews of Mozart/Messiah performances.=0A=0Ahttp://www.nytimes.com/2=

dernized-messiah-in-mozart-s-brazen-way.html=0A=0AFollowing are two notes f=
rom Klarinet by Dan and others referring to this arrangement and also to an=
arrangement by a 'Coopersmith'.=0A=0Ahttp://test.woodwind.org/Databases/Kl=

1995/12/000274.txt=0A=0ADan, or anyone, do I understand that this Schirmer =
Edition is the overdone Coopersmith version? Does anyone else have comments=
or criticisms or this version? I enjoy what we do very much; I'd like to h=
ear more discussion.=0A=0AWayne Thompson=0A=0A-----------------------------=
