Handel "Dixit Dominus" continuo

[JamieAH]

The accompanist for my community chorus is looking for a realization of the figured bass for Handel's "Dixit Dominus." Does anyone know if one is available in print or for download? I've been searching online, to no avail.

This might be a good opportunity for your accompanist to learn playing figured bass. A superficous Google search brings up some brief introductions:

• http://www.saraband.com.au/figured_bass.htm
• http://www.martiandances.com/figbass.htm

For Theorbo or Archlute, I would recommend to read Nigel North: "Continuo Playing on the Lute, Archlute and Theorbo", which is a decent textbook (though I find the sections named "practical steps" with "liding shapes" far from useful, but that is a matter of taste). For Organ, I am sure that other forum members can recommend a good book.

Hope this helps, Chris
