What Score do I buy?

Picture
We use the G. Schirmer “Tertius Noble” edition of Messiah.  G. Schirmer publishes two choral books, one called “SATB Vocal Score," and one called “SATB Choral Score Chorus Parts.”  I recommend buying the "SATB Vocal Score" because it contains all the music, including solos.  The "SATB Choral Score Chorus Parts" edition contains only the choruses, and has different page numbers. Most of my page references are based on the full score.

You can buy a score either locally or online:
  • If living in Central Illinois, you can purchase at Kidder Music, 7728 N Crestline Dr, Peoria, IL.
  • If you want to buy online, I usually order from J.W. Pepper, but there are many resources available. Link to JW Pepper  If ordering from JW Pepper, be sure to order item #441725 “SATB Vocal Score."
