A Symphony-Cantata after Texts from the Holy Scriptures. Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Edited by John Michael Cooper. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Barenreiter Urtext. Score. Opus 52, MWV A 18. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09092. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09092).
ISBN 9790006565795. 12.2 x 9.57 inches. Text Language: German, English. Preface: John Michael Cooper. Text: Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Felix (nach der Luther-Bibel und Martin Rinckart) / Monicke, Charles Henry.
Mendelssohn’s contemporaries frequently mentioned his “Hymn of Praise” in the same breath as Beethoven’s Ninth – and often enough viewed it as an imitation. Mendelssohn authority John Michael Cooper, in his extensive Introduction to this new Urtext edition, shows that the comparison is completely unfounded: with this work Mendelssohn created a new genre to which he gave the name “symphony-cantata”. Later he added a secular counterpart with “Die Erste Walpurgisnacht”.
Drawing on all relevant sources, Cooper provides a detailed account of the genesis and structure of this monumental work. Rounding off his scholarly performing edition are notes on the work’s performance, e.g. tempo, articulation and dynamics.
For the first time the piano reduction includes Mendelssohn’s authorised version of the “Sinfonia”, based on the first edition of No. 1 for piano solo.
