[Perform-Talk] Accessible Score for Handel's Messiah

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Friends,

I've been invited to participate in a new community choir that is performing a "Messiah Sing," which as I understand it is a performance of Handel's "Messiah" where the audience is invited to sing with the choir in the choral pieces. I would love to do it, but at this time I don't know where I'm going to get the music. The director has specified that she wants everyone to have the Watkins-Shaw edition of the score, though I don't know what separates that edition from any other version of the score. I checked today and it's not available on BARD. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get the music either in Braille or in individual voice part recordings? I'd prefer having both, but will take the recordings if Braille isn't available. Unfortunately, they only have 3 rehearsals scheduled and we're expected to come to the first rehearsal with music prepared, so recording the part at the rehearsal doesn't seem to be an option here.

Thanks in advance for your ideas!
