Phil, 
You can go to rollingball.com and find Handel's temperament. I have used it for the Messiah, and it was GREAT!
I sure hope you are doing it at A415. You will be amazed at how much more lyric the voices are for that piece 
at the lower temp. The tenors can hit their notes full voice, and the sopranos aren't shrieking. A much more 
pleasing sound overall.
