"The Messiah" by G. F. Handel, published by G. Schirmer, Inc. in 1912, is a complete vocal score of the renowned oratorio. Edited by T. Tertius Noble and revised by Max Spicker, this edition offers a comprehensive arrangement for a four-part chorus of mixed voices with piano accompaniment. As part of G. Schirmer's Editions of Oratorios and Cantatas, this volume is a valuable resource for musicians and scholars. Although the specific edition number is Ed. 38, it does not specify if it is a first edition. The book is printed in New York, reflecting early 20th-century American music publishing. This copy, lacking an ISBN, is particularly significant for collectors of historical music scores. The condition is good, with some signs of wear on the cover, but the pages remain intact and legible.
