The Symphony No. 5 in D major/D minor, Op. 107, called
the Reformation Symphony, was composed by Felix
Mendelssohn in 1830 in honor of the 300th anniversary

Confession was a key document of Lutheranism and its
Presentation to Emperor Charles V in June 1530 was a
momentous event of the Protestant Reformation. The
symphony was written for a full orchestra and was the
second extended symphony that Mendelssohn had written.
