Description:
With his unfinished oratorio "Christus" Op. 97, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy left behind a deeply moving masterpiece of Romantic sacred music. The composition captivates through its dramatic expressive power and sonic grandeur. This high-quality full score from the renowned Carus-Verlag provides the perfect foundation for rehearsals, concert performances, and in-depth score study. Scored for a high solo voice (Tenor), a rich six-part mixed choir (SATTBB), and a colorful orchestra comprising woodwinds, horns, trumpets, trombones, timpani, and strings, the music unfolds an overwhelming emotional depth—from the prophecy of Christ's birth to the stirring Passion scenes. An essential choral work for conductors, choirs, and lovers of ambitious vocal music.
