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

[Linda Mentink]

I think I wrote the name incorrectly. It should be Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). Sorry about that.

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.
