Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy From heav’n on high

Cantata based on Luther’s Christmas chorale MWV A 10, 1831

Read and write feedback
The Protestant chorale played an important role for Mendelssohn even in his early years. Inspired by Bach’s works he, too, composed cantatas on chorales, including one on the Lutheran Christmas hymn "Vom Himmel hoch" which is still well-known and popular today. If the voices enter confidently and in rapid succession in the opening chorus, and the phrasing has a heavenly lightness through secure intonation, then we can really celebrate Christmas.

  • 1. Coro

    From heav’n on high I come to you:
    I bring you joyful news and true.
    The joyful news I bring this day
    I now shall sing and I shall say.

    For you this day a child is born,
    Born of a virgin pure and fine.
    This beautiful and winsome boy
    Shall be your gladness and your joy.

    2. Aria (Baritone)

    He is the Christ, our blessed Lord,
    And he will keep you from all want.
    Your King and Saviour he shall be,
    And from transgression make you free.
    He brings you all the blessedness,
    That God will give you in his grace.

    3. Choral

    He brings you all the blessedness,
    That God will give you in his grace,
    That you in heav’n eternally

  • 1. Coro Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her,
    ich bring euch gute neue Mär.
    Der guten Mär bring ich so viel,
    davon ich singn und sagen will.

    Euch ist ein Kindlein heut geborn,
    von einer Jungfrau auserkorn,
    ein Kindelein so zart und fein,
    das soll euer Freud und Wonne sein.

    2. Aria (Bariton) Es ist der Herr Christ, unser Gott,
    der will euch führn aus aller Not.
    Er will euer Heiland selber sein,
    von allen Sünden machen rein.
    Er bringt euch alle Seligkeit,
    die Gott, der Vater, hat bereit.

    3. Choral Er bringt euch alle Seligkeit,
    die Gott, der Vater, hat bereit,
