Hardcover score.

I treasure my score of The Messiah. It came to me from my grandmother. The pages are brown, and it is falling apart. And over the sixteenth notes towards the end of For Unto Us A Child Is Born, there is a handwritten remark: "Poor Bunny just gets LOST here."

And just in case the above isn't considered to be exactly a review...I love The Messiah. Every bit of it.
