Händel, Georg Friedrich (1685–1759): Alexander’s Feast HWV 75

for soprano, tenor, bass, choir, 2 recorders/flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, trumpet, harp, timpani, organ, & strings. Critical new edition, edited by Michael Robertson. This edition is based on the manuscript copy by John C. Smith, which was made during Handel’s lifetime and contains alterations in the composer’s hand. Taken into account for the first time was also the autograph organ part, which yielded valuable information. This edition contains numerous pieces of Urtext information disregarded in editions until now, as, for example, in the Chrysander edition that has been popular since the 19th century.

• Score (256 p.): EW904
• Set of parts (strings: 5-4-3-4): EW248
• Piano score: EW 910

„Michael Robertson has made an excellent job of this edition: congratulations!“ EARLY MUSIC REVIEW (GB), 07/2015

„Damit bietet diese Walhall-Publikation nicht nur eine Partitur mit einem sehr gut lesbaren, übersichtlichen und gleichzeitig auch platzökonomischen wissenschaftlich-kritisch erarbeiteten Notentext, sondern im Vorwort auch interessante Einblicke in Händels Versionen des gesamten Werkes. Sehr empfehlenswert!“ MUSICA SACRA, 6/2015
