There are
still works from
Mendelssohns later years
which are unknown or have
yet to be published. This
little spiritual
Festgesang was quite
possibly tossed off by
the composer in only one
day. It was commissioned
for the benefit of the
poor in Schwaz, a little
town in Tyrol. Scholars
have noted with a certain
amazement that the music
of the Festgesang was to
play a key role in the
Lobgesang, written
shortly thereafter.
