Insp
iration for the Three
Motets op. 39 was a visit
to the romanesque church
of Trinita dei Monti. On
20 Dec 1830 Mendelssohn
wrote to his parents: The
French nuns sing there,
and it is wonderfully
lovely. ... Now, one
should know one more
thing: that one is not
allowed to see the
singers. Therefore I have
come to an unusual
decision: I will compose
something for their
voices, which I rememer
exactly.... Score
