Practical Guide for Performing, Teaching & Singing the "Messiah"

At long last, a definitive edition providing an authentic and fresh perspective on this time-honored oratorio. Since the page layout remains identical to the old Schirmer/Spicker edition, you can now replace worn copies with this new publication that has been entirely reedited. Based on Handel's autograph and conducting scores, Van Camp corrected over 100 notational and textual errors which appeared in the Spicker edition and also provided a fine keyboard accompaniment that lines comfortably under the fingers…with the original bass line fully restored. Other features include the addition of text sources, breath marks, measure numbers, timings, rehearsal and performance suggestions, and much more. The companion textbook, A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR PERFORMING, TEACHING AND SINGING MESSIAH is an essential tool for anyone undertaking a performance of this great masterwork.Van Camp, Leonard is the author of 'Practical Guide for Performing, Teaching & Singing the "Messiah" ' with ISBN 9780893281045 and ISBN 0893281042.
