Mendelssohn's first great excursion into the genre of oratorio was
first performed in 1836 in Dsseldorf at a festival. Set to a
libretto by Julius Schubring based on the Bible, it soon gained
considerable popularity in England, which resulted in his famous
second oratorio, Elijah. The definitive vocal score reprinted here,
edited by the German musicologist Alfred Drffel, with a piano
reduction prepared by the composer's student August Horn, features
both the original German and the subsequent English text. First
issued around 1890 by C. F. Peters, this digitally-enhanced reprint
has been enlarged to a very readable A4 size, with measure numbers
and rehearsal letters added.
