Okay, ransacked the choir room and cannot find the trumpet score for Messiah. (NOT my fault, haven't used it since I've been here.... did find multiples of the oboe part -- when in the world could they have fielded a squadron of oboes? I digress...)
Anyway, if anyone could email me a PDF of a trumpet part for Hallelujah before 1:00 pm tomorrow I would be eternally grateful, and an entire choir will be remembering you and your intentions in their prayers at Christmas.
In the future, if you ever need new Messiah scores, the ones published by Lorenz, have the trumpet obbligato for the Hallelujah chorus in the back of every copy!!! They match the page numbers of the Schirmer editions, which so many of us have, so you can add to your library and never worry about the trumpet part again- it's offered in C or Bflat and I'm thinking there is also a tympani part.
A bargain. Sorry I can't remember off the top of my head who edited it. My mind is muddled have been collating and organizing orchestra parts for Midnight Mass for the last 7 hours.
