George Frideric Handel

Athalia (Part 1)

Part 2 is on the next page,
Part 3 the page after that.

You can freely and lawfully download a printable score for this Work from IMSLP - the Petruccio Music Library - though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, and it probably won't be as good as a proper paid-for engraved and printed score.

There is an excellent performance of this Work by The Choir of New College, Oxford & the Academy of Ancient Music, dir. Christopher Hogwood on YouTube starting here.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work. In these Files the SSAATTBB Chorus Voices are on Channels 1,5,2,6,3,7,4,8 - SATB-SATB format - and are sounded by piccolo/whistle, clarinet/flute, French horn/trombone and bassoon/tuba.
