Mendelssohn Bartholdy, FelixLobgesang / Hymn of Praise op. 52 MWV A 18A Symphony-Cantata after Texts from the Holy Scriptures- Urtext edition taking all sources into account- Piano reduction by the composer including his piano version of the Sinfonia - Extensive Foreword (Ger/Eng) and detailed Critical Commentary (Eng)Mendelssohn s contemporaries frequently mentioned his Hymn of Praise in the same breath as Beethoven s Ninth and often enough viewed it as an imitation. Mendelssohn authority John Michael Cooper, in his extensive Introduction to this new Urtext edition, shows that the comparison is completely unfounded: with this work Mendelssohn created a new genre to which he gave the name symphony-cantata . Later he added a secular counterpart with Die Erste Walpurgisnacht .Drawing on all relevant sources, Cooper provides a detailed account of the genesis and structure of this monumental work. Rounding off his scholarly performing edition are notes on the work s performance, e.g. tempo, articulation and dynamics.For the first time the piano reduction includes Mendelssohn s authorised version of the Sinfonia , based on the first edition of No. 1 for piano solo. / Partitions classique / Vocale - chorale / Choeur et ensemble vocal / BARENREITER

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was commissioned by the city of Leipzig to write the Symphony Cantata Lobgesang for the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg. The work was given its first performance in Leipzigs Thomaskirche on 25 June 1840. Another performance took place at the Birmingham Music Festival on 23 September 1840. The composer created a hybrid genre here, a formal designation that he took quite literally and which he used here for the first and only time: after the three symphonic movements have flowed one into the other attacca, comes the Lobgesang Cantata in several sections Alles, was Odem hat. The present Urtext edition is the first to take into account the parts which were written for the first performances in Leipzig and which help clear up a number of discrepant readings.,,Der Herausgeber hat sich die Muhe gemacht, die 1841 im selben Verlag erstveroffentlichte Partitur mit dem Erstdruck der Stimmen zu vergleichen und konnte mit im Stimmensatz gefundenen Angaben zur Artikulation, Dynamik etc. die neue Partitur enorm bereichern. (Hans Gebhard, Chor und Konzert )The Urtext edition of the Lobgesang Symphony is the first to take into account the parts which were written for the first performances in Leipzig and which help clear up a number of discrepant readings.
