A very helpful anthology! Lots of arias are suitable for students or advanced singers!
I like this anthology. It has a very good selections from various kinds of sacred arias and I am sure it is suitable for singers in different levels. And the price is very resonable too. I would also recommend it to my vocal students!

Messiah: The Gospel According to Handel's Oratorio
Roger A. Bullard

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1993

Bullard provides an informed, readable commentary specifically on the libretto, or text, of Handel's Messiah, explaining each part in terms of: how the language differs from the King James Version of the Bible; what the passage of Scripture meant in its original context; and how the citation fits in the artistic and religious structure of the oratorio as a whole.

Beautiful book, beautifully written
Really well done! This book is so nice I am going to purchase more for gifts.

The Oratorio Anthology - Tenor: The Vocal Library
Richard Walters

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1994

This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature was confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental ...

The Investigation

Peter Weiss

Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd, 2000

The absolute best and absolute worst play I've ever done.
Not meant for anyone younger than 18. But definitely a play that every single person on the planet should experience. If nothing else, it will remind you of how dangerous the world can be if we don't take care of each other, and what will happen again if we continue to turn our backs on the horrors that still go on today. As an actor who has had the opportunity to perform a production of 'The ...

Johann Sebastian Bach

Dover Publications, 1990

Excellent Work!
Dover Publications did a fine job in presenting this material. I feel that is an excellent companion to the recording, and would be perfect as part of a set: The Great Choral Works. Shortly after purchasing this book, I also purchased the St. John's Score, Christmas Oratorio score and Mass in b score- I never want to close them!

Judas Maccabaeus in Full Score

George Frideric Handel

Dover Publications, 1997

Good score with a gotcha or two.
Here is the complete score for one of Handel's best Oratorios. It is on quality paper in a quality binding, not like most paperback scores. When they say full score, they mean full score. All the instruments are shown. They also have a handy keyboard reduction of the instrumental parts. A warning -- the choral sections use the Tenor and Alto clefs for their respective parts. If you are ...
