Description:
With the oratorio "St. Paul" (Paulus) Op. 36, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy created a captivating masterpiece of Romantic sacred music. Powerful and deeply expressive, the work depicts the dramatic transformation from the fierce persecutor Saul into the devoted apostle. The magnificent scoring for five vocal soloists (SATBB), mixed choir, and large orchestra unfolds an extraordinary emotional depth—ranging from moving chorales to thrilling dramatic choruses. This full score from Breitkopf & Härtel offers the highest level of editorial excellence: Michael Märker’s authoritative Urtext edition is reliably based on the original 1835 first edition score. Combining scholarly precision with superb readability, this essential volume provides the perfect foundation for an authentic, inspired, and radiant performance.
