Sir Eugene Goossens' orchestration of Handel's "Messiah" was composed in 1959. The orchestral material is available for hire here.

 

Sir Eugene Goossens’ monumental full symphony-sized orchestration of Handel’s Messiah from 1959 is now available in print for the first time. Formerly parts were falsely claimed by Sir Thomas Beecham and combined with other people’s work. However, this edition presents only Goossens’ version, which mysteriously appeared in the 1990s in England. This is the perfect version for playing the work in the context of a Romantic symphony orchestra.
