I don't know much about frescobaldi, but unzipping the file
and cd Messiah-lys, gives me the folder structure outlined above.
There is also a Makefile and:

$ make help
usage: make <score-rule>
score-rule:
  <score>           Build a A4 PDF score
  <score>-rehearsal Build a A4 PDF score with rehearsal numbers
  <score>-letter    Build a Letter PDF score
  <score>-<part>    Build a PDF part score
  <score>-delivery  Make archive and move PDFs to delivery directory
  <score>-all       Build all PDF formats and make delivery
score:
  Rameau/Opera/HippolyteEtAricie
  Couperin/Orgue/MesseCouvents
  Couperin/Motets
  Couperin/Clavecin/lArtDeToucherLeClavecin
  Lully/Ballet/LWV05LaReventeDesHabits
  Lully/Ballet/LWV08AmourMalade
  Lully/Fete/LWV22LesPlaisirsDeLIleEnchantee
  Lully/Comedie/LWV43LeBourgeoisGentilhomme
  Lully/Opera/LWV56Psyche
  Lully/Opera/LWV61Phaeton
  Lully/Opera/LWV71Armide
  Charpentier/Opera/DavidEtJonathas
  Haendel/Opera/GiulioCesare
  Haendel/Oratorio/Messiah
  PancraceRoyer/PremierLivre

which implies that the correct procedure to make the score would be

$ make Haendel/Oratorio/Messiah
lilypond -ddelete-intermediate-files  -o out/Messiah 
Haendel/Oratorio/Messiah/main.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.19.16
...

But since I have a newer lilypond version than the source I expect it 
to fail, which it does.

Source version can be found with:

$ find . -type f -name \*.ily -or -name \*.ly | xargs  grep version 
./common/common.ily:\version "2.13.7"
./common/common.ily:        #(ly:export (string-append "version " 
(lilypond-version)))
./common/music-commands.ily:\version "2.11.57"
./common/test-clef-key.ly:\version "2.11.39"
./common/test-markup.ly:\version "2.11.39"
./common/test-titling.ly:\version "2.11.39"

So to proceed forward I suggest you dig up lilypond version 2.13.7.

There is also a patch in lilypond-patches/lilypond.patch, and looking 
through lily/page-turn-page-breaking.cc I can see that that patch is 
not applied in the git repo. You might need to apply that patch too
succeed, who knows. Unfortunately the patch doesn't apply cleanly to
neither version 2.11.39 nor 2.13.7.

To get version 2.13.7 do:

$ git branch release/2.13.7
$ git checkout release/2.13.7
Switched to branch 'release/2.13.7'

Then INSTALL.txt in lilypond git covers the compilation process.
