Set of parts for Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's 'The First Walpurgis Night. A Poem by Goethe'.
Goethe’s dramatic ballad 'The First Walpurgis Night' inspired Mendelssohn to write a magnificent and vivid portrayal of theconflict between an old heathen community and the new aspirations of Christianization, between belief and superstition on both sides. In 1833 Mendelssohn had his ballad premiered, but he decided to make far-reaching revisionsbefore he finally had the work published in 1844. The Carus edition by the leading Mendelssohn scholar R. Larry Todd is based on the first printed edition of the score and thus the last authentic version of the work. Thisimportantchoral work by Mendelssohn is now available in a modern Urtext edition, with full score (in two languages), vocal score, choral score and orchestral material available on sale, as well as a CD recording by the Kammerchor Stuttgartconducted by Frieder Bernius (planned for autumn 2019).
