| Ajoutée par magataganm, 09 Sep 2023 Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809 – 1847), born and widely known as Felix Mendelssohn, was a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early romantic period. Mendelssohn wrote symphonies, concertos, oratorios, piano music and chamber music. His best-known works include his Overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Italian Symphony, the Scottish Symphony, the overture The Hebrides, his mature Violin Concerto, and his String Octet. His Songs Without Words are his most famous solo piano compositions. After a long period of relative denigration due to changing musical tastes and antisemitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his creative originality has been re-evaluated. He is now among the most popular composers of the romantic era. Mendelssohn enjoyed early success in Germany, and revived interest in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, notably with his performance of the St Matthew Passion in 1829. He became well received in his travels throughout Europe as a composer, conductor and soloist; his ten visits to Britain – during which many of his major works were premiered – form an important part of his adult career. His essentially conservative musical tastes set him apart from more adventurous musical contemporaries such as Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Charles-Valentin Alkan and Hector Berlioz. The Leipzig Conservatoire, which he founded, became a bastion of this anti-radical outlook. St. Paul (in German Paulus), Op. 36, is an oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn. The composer oversaw versions and performances in both German and English within months of completing the music in early 1836. The libretto "after words of holy scripture" was begun in 1832. The composer with pastor Julius Schubring, a childhood friend, compiled passages from the New Testament, chiefly the Acts of the Apostles, and the Old, as well as the texts of chorales and hymns, in a polyglot manner after Bach's model. Composition of the music started in 1834 and was complete in early 1836. The work was premiered on 22 May 1836 (having been completed in April of that year) at the Lower Rhenish Music Festival in Düsseldorf. The English premiere was in Liverpool on 3 October 1836 in a translation by Mendelssohn's friend, Karl Klingermann. Contralto Mary Shaw was one of the soloists at the English premiere. The first performance in the United States was in Boston on March 14, 1837. Mendelssohn himself conducted the first performance in Leipzig in the Paulinerkirche on 16 March 1837. Numerous performances followed in Europe and in the United States. "Dir, Herr, dir will ich mich ergeben" (To Thee, Lord, to Thee will I surrender myself), is based on the ninth verse of a hymn by Ludwig Rudolph von Senfft zu Pilsach (1681-1715) entitled "Herr Gott, du kennest meine Tage." Continuing the studies of Erich Reimer, the author identifies the references in Mendelssohn's text, which is made up of original biblical verses interspersed with hymnal texts and other biblical fragments. Mendelssohn interprets the fates of Jesus, Stephanus, and the converted Paul in relation to each other and describes the actions of Paul and the early church within the context of a new beginning. The call "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" (nos. 1 and 16) as well as the response "Dir, Herr, dir will ich mich ergeben" are thus programmatically intertwined.

Although originally composed for Chorus (SATB), I created this Interpretation of "Dir, Herr, dir will ich mich ergeben" (To Thee, Lord, to Thee will I surrender myself) from "Paulus" (St. Paul Op. 36 No. 9) for Organ (2 Manuals w/o Pedals).
