Mendelssohn’s unfinished 3rd oratorio in the first critical edition. Performance material is available separately for Part 1 and Part 2 of the oratorio. Part 1: "The Birth of Christ", Part 2: "The Passion of Christ" / In 1852 – five years after Mendelssohn's death – two independently performable fragments of an unfinished oratorio were published under the title "Christus". Presumably he had planned a third part after the two parts "The Birth of Christ" and "The Passion of Christ". "The Birth of Christ" is centred on a four-part choral movement, which is introduced by two short solo parts. The second fragment, "The Passion of Christ", leads into the centre of the Passion: It deals with the scene "Jesus before Pilate" in a rapid, dramatic alternation of evangelist recitatives (tenor) and folk choirs. A contemplative choral movement forms the conclusion.
