butterbobbinI iz tired. I've spent a good part of my morning editing down my digital copy of my Messiah record to individual tracks, and today's burning question is this:
Why does it seem there is NO copy of "Messiah" that is complete and unabridged? And I'm talking about really, truly complete and unabridged, including the four choruses after "Lift Up Your Heads" that I have yet to hear, period. I can understand why in a concert performance you abridge it, because the average modern audience isn't into three hours of baroque vocalisations, but on a recording, dude, seriously.

Spot looks so pitiful and sad in his Plastic Collar of Doom. I can't wait for him to be out of it.

I'm on iTunes and I found a Messiah that is complete. My irritation can now subside.
