Handel's Messiah: The Creative Process

By Amanda Babington

This book seeks to redress this imbalance by providing a thorough investigation of the work's creative process. Beginning with the creation of the libretto, it examines the earliest sketches, Handel's use of pre-existent material, alterations made to the autograph score, and the latest versions of movements.
