Hymne Three Sacred Songs and Fugue (orchestral version) by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn 4-Part - Sheet Music

By Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn

The "Hymne" op. 96 is closely linked to the "Drei geistliche Lieder" / "Three Sacred Songs" from 1840 (Carus 40.1166/03). It is an expansion and orchestral version of these songs. In 1840, Mendelssohn composed the "Three Sacred Songs" on an English paraphrase of the 13th Psalm for solo alto, choir and organ. The text was written by the English legal scholar and music lover Charles B. Broadley, who commissioned the work. Mendelssohn specifically wanted to match the tone of the English Verse Anthem with the these songs. The "Three Sacred Songs" soon appeared in print in England and Germany (also with a German text). In 1842/43, at Broadley's request, Mendelssohn created an orchestral version of the "Three Sacred Songs" and added a final fugue to the piece. This four-movement orchestral version was only published after Mendelssohn's death as "Hymne" op. 96. The present edition is the first critical edition of the work and contains the original English singing text as well as the German text. The full score, a study score, a vocal score, choral score and orchestral parts are available.
