Oratorienfragment. Teil I: Die Geburt Christi - Teil Ii: Das Leiden Christi. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohns unfinished 3rd oratorio in its first critical edition. The parts 'Die Geburt Christi' and 'Das Leiden Christi' are presented with full orchestration. In 1852, five years after Mendelsohn’s death, two independently-performable fragments of an unfinished oratorio were published under the title 'Christus'. The second fragment, 'The Suffering of Jesus', comes from the middle of the Passion story: the scene 'Jesus before Pilot' is presented with rapid, dramatic alternation between the recitatives of the evangelist [tenor] and choruses of the people. A contemplative choral movement closes the fragment. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes STBB, Choeur SATTBB, 2 Flûtes Traversière

From Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio, Christus, this masterwork adaptation tastefully presents a classical work for church and academic choirs. This chorus is from one of Mendelssohn's final works which was never completed. The rolling triplet accompaniment pushes the composition forward with wave-like arches, supporting the choir in all of its sonorous glory. A smooth contrapuntal style contrasts with dramatic accents and powerful crescendos, displaying the confident scripture-based text with appropriate excitement! John Leavitt has provided a new piano accompaniment as well as a new sparkling orchestration that supports the work while staying faithful to the Mendelssohn original.
