In this companion volume to The Christmas Messiah, Larry Shackley once again presents a musical treasure to pianists everywhere: six more selections from Handel's timeless masterpiece, transcribed for one piano, four hands. The book leads off with the remarkable Sinfonia, with its solemn chords, followed by one of the most famous fugues in Baroque literature.
