Composer: Felix Mendelssohn
Arranger: John Leavitt
Format: CD
Version: ChoirTrax CD to accompany SATB choral octavo
Uses: Advent, Christmas, Concert, Epiphany
Scripture: Matthew 2:2; Numbers 24:17; Psalm 72:8
From Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio, Christus, this masterwork adaptation tastefully presents a classical work for church and academic choirs. This chorus is from one of Mendelssohn's final works which was never completed. The rolling triplet accompaniment pushes the composition forward with wave-like arches, supporting the choir in all of its sonorous glory. A smooth contrapuntal style contrasts with dramatic accents and powerful crescendos, displaying the confident scripture-based text with appropriate excitement!
John Leavitt has provided a new piano accompaniment as well as a new sparkling orchestration that supports the work while staying faithful to the Mendelssohn original. Score and Parts (fl 1-2, ob, cl 1-2, bn, perc, timp, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.
Duration: 4:00
