Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Chester L. Alwes. Sacred, Christmas, Eastertide, General, Lent. Roger Dean Publishing #30/2434R. Published by Roger Dean Publishing (LO.30-2434R).ISBN 9781429108355.
In this companion to Handel’s classic “Messiah,” American music scholar and conductor Dr. Chester L. Alwes has created an essential resource for singers, teachers, conductors, and scholars who want to understand and make informed decisions about the oratorio and its performance. This simple, accessible book contains all of the recitatives and arias, along with every variant written and authorized by Handel and the rationale behind their potential use. The thoughtful commentary that accompanies the music also suggests a wide array of choices regarding ornamentation, style, phrasing, dynamics, and more, making it ideal for scholars and advanced singers. This is a natural and invaluable addition to the already popular Leonard Van Camp “Messiah” edition (65/1001) and the resource text “A Practical Guide for Performing, Teaching, and Singing Messiah” (30/1004), both available from Roger Dean Publishing Company.

- General Thoughts about "Messiah" and its Variants
- Comfort Ye My People
- Ev'ry valley shall be exalted
- But who may abide the day of His coming?
- O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
- For behold, darkness shall cover the earth
- There were shepherds abiding in the field
- And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them
- And suddenly there was with the angel
- Thy rebuke hath broken his heart
- Behold, and see if there be any sorrow
- But thou didst not leave his soul in hell
- Behold, I tell you a mystery
- The Variants
- Thus saith the Lord
- Behold, a virgin shall conceive
- And the Angel Said Unto Them
- Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion
- Unto which of the angels said He?
- Thou art gone up on high
- How Beautiful Are the Feet
- Thou shalt break them
- Then shall be brought to pass
- O death, where is thy sting?
- If God be for us, who can be against us?
- Handel's Soloists
- He Shall Feed His Flock Like A Shepherd
- He Was Despised
- He was cut off out of the land of the living
- He that dwelleth in heaven
- I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
- The people that walked in darkness
- Then shall the eyes of the blind be open'd
- All they that see Him, laugh Him to scorn
- Their sound is gone out into all lands
- Why do the nations furiously rage together?
- The Trumpet Shall Sound
