One of the most treasured pieces in the solo vocal repertoire is now available for SATB choir and keyboard.
One of the most treasured pieces in the solo vocal repertoire is now available for SATB choir and keyboard. Carefully arranged by Ralph C. Schultz, this choral setting of the soprano solo from George Frideric Handel’s Messiah brings a masterpiece into the realm of the average parish choir without sacrificing any of Handel’s grandeur or splendor.
Based on Job 19:25-26 and 1 Corinthians 15:20 (KJV), this resurrection text is suitable at Easter Vigil, during Eastertide, and when themes include end times and redeemer. Also perfect for funerals, Handel’s piece is engraved on his burial monument in Westminster Abbey.
Downloadable accompaniment track available (98-4117acc).
