EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare treasure from the musical world - a page from one of only two known copies of the first printing of Handel's Messiah in London. The photograph captures the delicate beauty and historical significance of this printed paper, which is believed to date back to the 18th century. The image reveals an intricate arrangement of music notation, meticulously transcribed by an anonymous English School artist. This particular copy stands out due to an arrow marking that guides the eye through each bar of music, allowing performers to follow along with ease. It is speculated that this edition may have been printed and published by Randall and Abell around 1767-8. Housed within a private collection, this extraordinary artifact provides us with a tangible connection to George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), one of history's greatest composers. As we gaze upon this page, we are transported back in time, imagining the grandeur and emotion that must have filled concert halls when Messiah was first performed. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and their collaboration with www. bridgemanart. com, we can now appreciate and admire this remarkable piece without any commercial intentions. Let us cherish these glimpses into our artistic heritage as they remind us of the enduring power music holds over our hearts and souls.
