Oratorio-Immediately after completing “St. Paul” in 1836 Mendelssohn mulled over the idea of composing a further oratorio. However a whole decade elapsed before the composition of “Elijah” which takes as its theme the story of the Biblical prophet from the 1 st Book of Kings.When he received the invitation to write a major work for the Birmingham Music Festival Mendelssohn finally embarked on work on the oratorio. “Elijah” was premiered in 1846 in Birmingham with great success and has enjoyed great popularity ever since.Following the firstperformance Mendelssohn undertook a revision of the oratorio in which whole numbers were removed and new ones substituted. This is the version which was first heard in 1847 in London and which is still performed today.To mark the Mendelssohn anniversary year 2009 the Mendelssohn specialist Douglass Seaton Professor at Florida State University prepared a critical new edition of the oratorio. The edition reflects the latest research findings and includes both English and German singing texts.A critical commentary completes the new edition.- One of Mendelssohn’s most popular works in an edition reflecting the latest editorial knowledge- Bärenreiter-Urtext including numbers from the original version for the first time- English and German singing texts- Critical Commentary (Eng)

Mendelssohn produced an early work for Organ in 1837 but it was a London music publishing firm who commissioned the first of his mature Organ works. The second half of the commissioned pieces are published in this volume. Mendelssohn himself saved all his manuscripts and they have survived in libraries in Berlin and Krakow providing the subtitle of this book.Eleven movements are included here all written in 1844 and 1845. What were originally commissioned as ‘Voluntaries’ were changed at the composer’s request to ‘Sonatas’. Whether one considers these movements as drafts and sketches or as distinct musical entities in their own right the works are not identical tothe final printed versions. For those who appreciate or study the Mendelssohn Organ oeuvre this volume is of immense interest.While the Organ never completely fell from grace as the instrument of church and religious music it is the editor’s belief that in the century dividing JS Bach from these works of Mendelssohn fashion and church practice had greatly diminished its importance and few works of real note were produced. Mendelssohn was introduced to the Organ early in his prodigious career and found a warm audience for his Organ performances in Engand to which he returned nine times over nearly twenty years.

The setting of Psalm no. 42 op. 42 ?Wie der Hirsch schreit nach frischem Wasser?

The piano reduction is by Mendelssohn and is an authentic part of this edition.Psalm with a large orchestral scoring in a Urtext editionBilingual foreword(Ger/Eng)Original German as well as English textIncludes a piano reduction by the composer
