Product Description

Mendelssohn's Oratorio Elijah is full of great choral pieces. This has always been a favorite.

These two phrases are interwoven to great effect in Mendelssohn's soaring style.
This edition indicates a tempo of about 80 bpm, though some prefer to perform it a bit faster.
MP3 sound sample: Entire Piece (synthesizer/midi).
HE WATCHING OVER ISRAEL, by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, for SATB choir with piano, comes in a pdf file of 958K, with a thirteen-page score, and a license page, fourteen pages in all. Performance time should be about four minutes.
