This superb arrangement features the third movement of Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5 (Reformation). Arguably one of the most memorable melodies Mendelssohn ever wrote, this version for strings retains all the beauty and finesse of the original. An ideal opportunity to teach phrasing and develop the slow bow control necessary for languid, singing passages. This is fantastic music.

Written after Mendelssohn visited Fingal's Cave off the coast of Scotland, this music showcases the composer's comment that it is in pictures, ruins and natural surroundings that I find the most music. Throughout the overture, one feels the undulation of the sea, the swirling waters washing up onto the formation, and the mesmerizing enchantment of his experience. (3:15).

Mendelssohn's 12 juvenile symphonies are more than the scholastic exercises of a compositionally precocious twelve-year-old. Mendelssohn assimilates some vastly different influences (Bach, Mozart, Dittersdorf, etc. ) and attains an amazing originality in certain movements. The source-critical scores of the string symphonies were issued a fairly long time ago as part of the Leipzig Mendelssohn Edition. Kantate Lobgesang im Auftrag der Stadt Leipzig fur das 400jahrige Jubilaum der Erfindung der Buchdruckerkunst durch Johannes Gutenberg. Die Urauffuhrung fand am 25. Juni 1840 in der Leipziger Thomaskirche statt am 23. September.
