Abraham Mendelssohn brought his son to Paris in 1825, so that Cherubini could come to a conclusion about the abilities of the young composer. Mendelssohn presented this great Kyrie to Cherubini as an example.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Kyrie in d

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: Kyrie in d

Im Alter von sechzehn Jahren komponierte Mendelssohn dieses Stück in Paris. Das ausgezeichnete Vorwort des Herausgebers beleuchtet den Umkreis und klassifiziert die Komposition als Studienwerk, das zur Empfehlung an den damaligen Beherrscher des Pariser Musiklebens dienen sollte: Luigi Cherubini. Seinem Stil und dem von Mozarts Requiem sieht sich denn Mendelssohn in diesem Satz auch in besonderem Maße stilistisch wie in der Detailarbeit verpflichtet. Liturgisch ungeeignet kann es in geistlichen Konzerten gut Verwendung finden. Allerdings ist ein großes Orchester und ein guter, zahlenmäßig reich besetzter Chor für fünf Stimmen (zwei Soprane) nötig.

Eberhard Kraus
Quelle: Musica Sacra 1987, Heft 6, S. 521

 

Nach dem ausführlichen Vorwort des Herausgebers ist das vorliegende Werk als „Studienwerk” des 16jährigen Mendelssohn während dessen Aufenthalts in Paris entstanden. Anklänge sind deutlich an Cherubini sowie an Mozarts Requiem, bei dessen Aufführung Mendelssohn in Paris mitwirkte und das er später auch mehrfach selbst aufführte. Die Komposition ist geschrieben „a 5 voci und grandissimo Orchester”: zu Mozarts Requiem-Besetzung treten 2 Flöten und 2 Hörner hinzu (und Klarinetten statt der Bassetthörner). Die Aufführungsdauer beträgt ca. 10 Minuten. Unüberhörbar sind auch die Anklänge an das Requiem und faszinierend der mühelose Umgang mit fünfstimmigem Kontrapunkt ebenso wie da sichere Gespür für die Instrumentierung. Der Chorpart entspricht in der Schwierigkeit dem des Mozart-Requiems. Für mich ist das Kyrie ein Geniebeweis des jungen Mendelssohn, gut vorstellbar im Kontext einer Aufführung des Mozart-Requiems.
