Unfortunately I have never needed to put it on Sibelius but I believe the parts are available for hire from Henry Watson Music library in Manchester. Of course many purists frown on this 'big' version but I conduct it nearly every year with my society ( ), and it's a great crowd puller. It is an excellent edition in my opinion. I believe most of the woodwind parts of this edition are based on Mozart's arrangement of the piece.

I have the full score of the entire Prout edition of Messiah which matches up with the Novello Prout edition of the vocal score and I have a full set of orchestral parts. If you really want the full orchestral version, I would recommend you get hold of the Ebenezer Prout edition, the Hallelujah Chorus is scored for 2 flutes, 2 Oboe, 2 Clarinet in A, Bassoon, 2 Horns in D, 2 Trumpets in D, 3 Trombones, Timps in D & A, Strings, Organ and SATB.
