This
volume contains three
reworkings and
orchestrations of
religious works by Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
which were originally set
for smaller ensembles
(solo voices, four-part
chorus and organ). They
were composed at
different times and for
different occasions, two
of them as commissions.
The anthem ,,Why, o Lord,
delay forever MWV A 19
was originally the sacred
vocal piece MWV B 33,
published in England in
1841 with the additional
title ,,[…] The
Thirteenth Psalm, and in
Germany in the same year
as ,,Lass, o Herr, mich
Hilfe finden with the
title ,,Drei geistliche
Lieder which was composed
at the suggestion of the
English literature and
music lover Charles B.
Broadley who also
provided the paraphrase
of the psalm text. After
Mendelssohn had refused
an initial request by
Broadley to furnish the
anthem post festum with
an organ prelude, the
composer did not want to
turn down a second
request to orchestrate
the work and he even
expanded the existing
material with a lengthy
closing fugue involving
additional trumpets and
timpani. The ,,Ave Maria
MWV B 19 was written in
connection with
Mendelssohn's appointment
as municipal music
director, a position
which at the same time
included the
responsibility for the
musical organization of
church services. The
instrumentation of the
work with an
accompaniment of two
clarinets and two
bassoons as well as low
strings was due to the
fact that the organ in
Dusseldorf's principal
church St. Lambertus was
out of order for an
extended period of time,
and Mendelssohn
considered this solution
explicitly only as a
surrogate for the organ
should there be none. A
further psalm paraphrase
in English, this time by
William Bartholomew, of
the hymn ,,Hear my prayer
MWV B 49 was set to music
in early 1844; the
orchestration of the
organ part commissioned
by the distinguished
Dublin musician Joseph
Robinson was not
completed until 1847 so
that the premiere finally
only took place after
Mendelssohn's death. In
the further course of the
century ,,Hear my prayer
would, particularly in
the version with organ
accompaniment, come to
enjoy great popularity in
Great Britain and
Ireland.

Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy's
violin concerto op. 64
had - like many of his
other works - a lengthy
genesis: it is in the
summer of 1838 that
surviving documents first
mention the promise made
to his friend Ferdinand
David, concert master of
the Leipzig Gewandhaus,
to write, besides a
sonata, a grand solo
concerto for him.
Ultimately, work on this
opus continued - with
some longer interruptions
- until September 1844.
Even then, it owed its
preliminary completion in
no small measure to the
constant urging of the
prospective solo
violinist. But after the
,,official handing-over
of the parts to David and
a first joint rehearsal
of the concert in Leipzig
Mendelssohn continued
working on the score.
There subsequently began
an intensive
correspondence with David
between Leipzig and
Frankfurt am Main, where
Mendelssohn resided with
his family, in particular
concerning issues of the
principal part and the
reworking of the solo
cadence. In March 1845
the then current version
of the work was premiered
in a subscribers' concert
in Leipzig.This volume
deals with Mendelssohn's
first complete manuscript
of the score with the
corrections contained
therein, including all
surviving drafts and
sketches; also included
is the epistolary
evidence of the
correspondence with
Ferdinand David prior to
the premiere. The further
developments up to the
printing of the main
version of op. 64 by
Breitkopf & Hartel are
dealt with in Series II,
Vol. 7 of the
edition.

The
Critical Report on the
oratorio Elijah concludes
the five-volume edition
of this major work by
Felix Mendelssohn
Bartholdy. It presents -
by way of exception in
the form of a volume
separate from the music
editions - the summary of
all the editorial
commentaries particularly
associated with the early
versions (Volume V/11A)
and the final version
(Volume V/11) of Elijah,
which has appeared in
print. With the piano
reduction (Volume V/11B)
and the volume containing
sketches and discarded
versions (Volume V/11C),
the Critical Report
interweaves in other
ways: Since it was
possible to realize an
independent,
self-contained commentary
for the former one, the
present complete report
only contains the
relevant source overviews
and descriptions but no
source evaluation and
text-critical remarks.
The volume of sketches
and discarded versions,
on the other hand,
containing a
classification and
comments on all the
musical documents the
composer had not intended
for the public - among
them, in particular, the
documentation of the
work's modification for
the final version -
serves not least as a
supplement and practical
illustration of the
verbal explanations
contained in the Critical
Report. Thus, the
Critical Report, as
Volume V/11D of the
Edition, is intended to
bundle, systematize and
provide conclusive
commentaries on the
documents transmitted in
connection with the
Elijah, including not
only the musical, but
also all written
documents - libretto
drafts, correspondence,
sources on the (English)
reception -- that are
specifically presented in
this volume. The Critical
Report on Elijah contains
the presentation and
evaluation of a total of
six source collections
and nearly 260 individual
sources, including no
fewer than 20 libretto
drafts written by
Mendelssohn himself or
with his participation.
An essential component is
also a detailed
chronology of the work's
genesis. Mendelssohn's
creative work on his
second oratorio took an
unusually long period of
twelve years, in fact
almost a third of his
life.

This
Felix Mendelssohn
Bartholdy anthology
contains 19 sacred vocal
works in various choral
and sometimes additional
solo settings, with
organ, harpsichord, or
basso continuo
accompaniment. Among
these pieces composed
from 1821 to 1847 are six
works that were not
published during
Mendelssohn's lifetime.
Seven of the works
presented are each extant
in at least one other
authorized version that
has also been edited
here. The occasions and
circumstances of their
composition vary as much
as their musical
structures and
characteristics: Several
were intended for
specific performances;
others were written from
the outset for
publication.

Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
lived in the heyday of
men's choruses. Early on,
the composer had
encountered the genre by
way of his teacher Carl
Friedrich Zelter and his
Berlin Liedertafel,
founded in 1809, had then
gathered his own
experience from the
Leipzig Liedertafel
societies, and was in
contact with a number of
male choral societies
throughout his lifetime.
Nevertheless, his
relation to male choral
singing was characterised
not only by his
inclination, but also by
critical distance. The
festive compositions for
male chorus and orchestra
forming the content of
this volume are all
commissioned works, two
of which, the so-called
Gutenberg-Kantate and the
Festgesang an die
Kunstler on a text by
Friedrich Schiller, also
appeared in print during
Mendelssohn's
lifetime.

Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
fundamentally revised his
Elijah after its
successful world premiere
in Birmingham in summer
1846. However, the
individual layers of this
revision are less visible
in the autograph score
than in the piano-vocal
score that was made
parallel to it and which
the composer kept working
on for its simultaneous
publication in England
and
Germany.

The
year 1828 was a Durer
Year (300th anniversary
of death), and the Berlin
Durer Festival was
looking for a suitable
composer to write the
festival cantata. The
renowned Carl Friedrich
Zelter turned down the
offer and recommended his
pupil instead, the
18-year-old Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy. He
accepted, and, within a
few weeks, the Festmusik
MWV D1, was finished, his
first full-scored sacred
vocal work. Mendelssohns
Festmusik subsequently
fell into oblivion
despite its
much-applauded world
premiere. The specific
context and the rather
wooden libretto most
likely proved too
prohibitive even though
the young composer had
given his best. This can
now be confirmed for the
first time by consulting
the new printed
edition.

Between
1834 and 1847 Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
composed a total of 28
songs for mixed voices,
i.e. for two female
(soprano and alto) and
two male (tenor and bass)
voices each. The pieces
are arranged so that they
can be sung by four
individual singers as
well as by smaller
ensembles or large
choirs. The composer had
almost two-thirds of
these works published by
Breitkopf and Hartel in
the collections opp. 41,
48 and 59, combining
partly already existing
and partly newly composed
songs into a loose cycle
of six songs each. The
purpose of such
occasional music was
clear to him: ... the
most natural music of all
is when four people go
for a walk together, in
the forest, or on a boat,
and then immediately
carry the music with them
and in them. The present
volume contains all the
songs published and
unpublished during his
lifetime, as well as
their versions, which owe
their various performance
contexts.

Nearly an
entire decade lies
between the first mention
(1831) and the printing
(1840) of the Trio op.
49. Mendelssohn kept
trying to set it to
paper, but he was
probably again making too
many demands on this
work, his first in the
piano trio genre. Yet his
efforts were immediately
rewarded: It is the
master trio of the
present, and Mendelssohn
the Mozart of the 19th
century, proclaimed
Robert Schumann, who was
also to compose a
landmark D minor Trio
seven years later.
Mendelssohn's second Trio
op. 66 was composed with
a relatively light hand
in 1845. Over and beyond
the familiar Trios opp.
49 and 66, the
corresponding volume of
the Leipziger
Mendelssohn-Ausgabe
contains sketches and
drafts in the same
scoring, which were not
further developed.

Nine
variegated Sacred Vocal
Works with Orchestra by
Mendelssohn have been
compiled in this volume.
They stem not only from
various creative phases
of the composer, but also
in view of their vocal
settings show up marked
differences and thus
reflect the variety of
Mendelssohns creative
oeuvre. One shared aspect
is that all nine works
remained unprinted during
the composers lifetime.
Only the Lauda Sion
achieved celebrity; it
was published with the
posthumously attributed
opus number 73 and took
its place next to other
choral works by
Mendelssohn already in
the 19th century. Now
published within the
Mendelssohn Complete
Edition, it boasts a
text-critically revised
score available in many
cases for the first time,
and from which impulses
for musical practice are
sure to arise.

It is
significant that the
highly self-critical
Mendelssohn could
envision if at all only
four-hand piano
arrangements of his
Concert Overtures nos. 2,
3 and 4. He made it clear
to the publisher
Breitkopf & Hartel that a
two-hand version would
find no admirers. Since
Mendelssohn made his own
arrangements of the
Hebrides Overture (op.
26) and the Overture zur
schoenen Melusine (op.
32), this gives the
Leipzig Mendelssohn
Complete Edition the
opportunity to bring out
a slender supplementary
volume to the orchestral
scores of the four
Concert Overtures (LMA
I/8).

Mendelssohn
's ConfessionThe
Reformation Symphony,
misleadingly numbered
posthumously as 5 by its
publishers, was
Mendelssohn's first
confrontation with the
large symphonic form in
Beethoven's wake. Linking
it conceptually with the
300th anniversary of the
Augsburg Confession in
1830 seems to have first
occurred late in the
progress of its
composition, yet the
premiere did not take
place until 1832 and
ultimately even enabled
the composer to distance
himself completely from
his work and its concept.
Thanks to access to a new
source [or, ... new
access to sources... or
...new access to a
source...?], this edition
can now finally refute
the legend that a
separate original or
early version of the
symphony once
existed.

Mendelssohn
's first completed work
for a large scoring, the
Singspiel
Soldatenliebschaft, is
also the first of his
stage works. The
successful performance of
the lovely operetta (thus
the composer to his
librettist) on 11
December 1820 to
celebrate his fathers
birthday astonished the
family and convinced them
for good that the
11-year-old was
predetermined for a
career in music. The
overture and 14 vocal
numbers gave the young
composer ample
opportunity to prove his
talent. Although the
Soldatenliebschaft is
occasionally mentioned in
the correspondence of the
Mendelssohn family, and
the music was not
completely unknown in
Weimar as well, the work
was neither published nor
performed in public
during the composers
lifetime. Now that the
score has been released
in the Complete Edition,
the publisher was
preparing the performance
material as well, so that
the work can be made
available to
theaters.
