Carus Choir Coach - Soprano. Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Carus Choir Coach. Cantata based on Luther's Christmas chorale. CD. Composed 1831. MWV A 10. Carus Verlag #4018945. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4018945).Key: C major. German, English.
The Protestant chorale played an important role for Mendelssohn, even in his early years. Inspired by Bach's works, he too composed cantatas on chorales, including one on the Lutheran Christmas hymn "Vom Himmel hoch" which is still well-known and popular today. If the voices enter confidently and in rapid succession in the opening chorus and the phrasing has a heavenly lightness through secure intonation, then we can really celebrate Christmas. / The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a mp3 CD or download containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions: 1) Original recording, 2) Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background, 3) Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version - through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively. / Performers: Krisztina Laki (Soprano), Berthold Possemeyer (Baritono) - Kammerchor Stuttgart, Wuerttembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn - Frieder Bernius.
