This early work of the composer’s, written in 1822, already displays his own style, but also harks back to the work of the same name by his life-long inspiration, J. S. Bach.

Composer
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
| 1809-1847Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847) is regarded as one of the most important composers of the Romantic period. His compositions combine the formal clarity of the Viennese Classical period with the heightened expressiveness of the 19th century. His engagement with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach was particularly influential; he played a key role in its rediscovery through the performance of the St Matthew Passion in 1829.
Among his best-known vocal works are his two oratorios, Paulus and Elias, as well as his chorale cantata Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich. Furthermore, Mendelssohn worked as a conductor, pianist and music teacher, and made a significant contribution to the professionalisation of the concert scene and to the development of the Leipzig Conservatoire. His work occupies a central position in 19th-century music history and combines a sense of tradition with Romantic sound aesthetics.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: »Magnificat«
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: ”Magnificat”
Sehr beachtlich, was der erst 13jährige Mendelssohn da zustande brachte: ein ca. halbstündiges „Magnificat” für große Besetzung, das der Carus Verlag in der gewohnt guten Qualität nun der Öffentlichkeit vorstellt. Zwar ist noch nicht immer alles originell und es scheinen immer wieder die barocken Oratorien-Vorbilder durch, doch ist das Ganze schon wesentlich mehr als eine Tonsatzaufgabe. Liedhafte, teilweise liebenswürdige Melodik herrscht vor in den Arien, klangvolle Pracht und gekonnte Kontrapunktik in den Chorsätzen. Dabei sind für den Chor jedoch einige Hürden - hauptsächlich in Form von Koloraturen - zu nehmen. Wer aber im Zusammenhang mit der Aufführung eines anderen Werkes bereits ein Orchester engagiert hat und noch eine zeitliche Ergänzung abseits des üblichen Repertoires sucht, dem sei diese Komposition zur näheren Betrachtung empfohlen.
