This edition of "The Messiah: An Oratorio" by G. F. Handel, edited by T. Tertius Noble and revised according to Handel’s original score by Max Spicker, was published by G. Schirmer, Inc. in 1912. Printed in New York, this vocal score is part of the G. Schirmer's Editions of Oratorios and Cantatas series. The book is designed for a four-part chorus of mixed voices with soprano, alto, tenor, and bass soli accompanied by piano. As an early 20th-century publication, it offers insight into historical interpretations of Handel's work. The book is ex-library, with markings indicating previous ownership by a church in Amarillo, Texas. This edition is particularly valuable for collectors and musicians interested in historical choral music scores. The physical condition reflects its age, with signs of wear consistent with library use.
