Die Musik von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy gehort fur viele Chore zum festen und gern gesungenen Repertoire, das vom einfachen romantischen Volkslied bis zum ausgewachsenen Oratorium reicht. Durch alle Chorsparten ist seine Musik bekannt und beliebt. Und dochhat Mendelssohn kaum fur Fraunenchöre geschrieben, obwohl entsprechende Ensembles bereits zu seinen Lebzeichen im 19. Jahrhundert inder Chorlandschaft ein Rolle spielen. Fur die vorliegende Sammlung hat sich Pascal Martine deshalb des Kunstgriffs der Bearbeitung bedient. Als Vorlage dienten Mendelssohns Gesange fur zwei Frauenstimmen und Klavier, die er auf drei Frauenstimmen erweitert hat. Dabei ist die hinzugefugte Stimme so konzipiert, dass die romantische Stimmführung berücksichtigt und Mendelssohns jeweilige Satztechnik logisch erweitert wurde. Die originale Klavierbegleitung wurde beibehalten und tragt so zum liedhaften Charakter dieser Chorbearbeitungen bei. Contents: Ich wollt' meine Lieb' ergosse sich; Gruss; Herbstlied; Wie kann ich froh und lustig sein; Maiglockchen und die Blümelein; Abendlied; Sonntagsmorgen; Denn in seiner Hand ist, was die Erde bringt.

The first great orchestral psalm

Mendelssohn' s first great orchestral psalm took almost six years to complete, from the initial sketches and the first version of 1830 to the final version of 1835. Its premiere which took place at the Leipzig Gewandhaus did not take place until 1838.
Unlike his other orchestral psalms, Mendelssohn took the Latin words from the Vulgate as his principal text which stems from Psalm 113. When he later prepared his own German translation, he made use of Psalm 115 from the Luther Bible.

This edition by the leading Mendelssohn authority John Michael Cooper incorporates all the relevant sources. In accordance with the work's genesis, the vocal parts are underlaid with the Latin text, and the German text appears underneath.
Rounding off this Urtext edition are an informative Foreword and detailed Critical Commentary.

The piano reduction stems from Mendelssohn himself.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy completed his first oratorio - St. Paul , op. 36 - in 1836, at the age of twenty-seven.

The first version, which was premiered on 22 May 1836, was then extensively revised by the composer. This second version, which at the same time served as the basis for the published version, was premiered as early as October that year in Birmingham . The acclaim with which the oratorio was received was exceptional. Within eighteen months of completing the score, Mendelssohn was able to list fifty performances of the work. Robert Schumann praised the work effusively and even Richard Wagner, who later denigrated Mendelssohn, was full of admiration. Today, St. Paul belongs to the core repertoire of sacred choral music.

This Urtext edition of the oratorio, edited by the internationally-recognise d Mendelssohn scholar Michael Cooper is based on all critical sources. As well as the principal version of the work, the score also includes for the first time numbers which were composed for the first version and subsequently removed. This gives not only an insight into the history of the composition of the work, but also, with the complete performing material, into the performance of the original version. The appendices (first version) which appear in the full score and vocal score are not contained in this choral score.

The full score and vocal score include the German and English texts of the oratorio.

The vocal score is by Mendelssohn.
