The Messiah Project

These are the files available at the NWC Archive.

This project has been three years in the making, and is an example of the kind of collaborative work for which NoteWorthy Composer Users have become renowned. Special thanks to coordinators Matt Johnson and Mark Anderson, who saw this massive project through to a successful conclusion.
