The Harmonius Blacksmith

Hi Guys (& Gals).
Happy St Paddy's et al. I'm looking for the staff music of The Harmonius Blacksmith.
We play the odd baroque piece at the Sunday Villiarstown session and there's a couple of tricky bits in the second part That are holding me back.
If there are copy-right issues - just send me the second part. I've promised to play it 4 someone and don't want to let 'em down.
Slán.
Peter

If you're referring to the final movement of Handel's Suite #5, often referred to as the Harmonious Blacksmith, then you can find the sheet music here: http://www2.free-scores.com/PUBLIC/divers/blacksmith.pdf

You can also download the pdf score of the complete suite from
http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/a/a9/IMSLP12253-Handel_-_Suite_No_5_in_E.pdf

IMSLP is the present-day incarnation of the previous International Music Database, a privately-owned website devoted to free downloads of out-of-copyright classical music scores (an enormous number), which got closed down by Universal a couple of years ago, much to everyone's dismay; IMDB's owner couldn't afford to fight it. However, an agreement seems to have been reached, and the website is now back under a different name.

I'll put it in Links.

It's in Links/Tune Collections. Look for International Music Score Project.
