The anthem Hör mein Bitten (Hear my Prayer) was regarded as one of Mendelssohn’s best-known sacred compositions, particularly in the Victorian period. In a dialogue with the solo soprano, the chorus has a proactive, rather than an accompanying, role. Short entries alternate, sometimes with the chorus delivering a harmonic sound tapestry, sometimes responding directly to the soloist’s statement. This continuous interplay requires the ability to react musically and for collective music-making, forming a unified whole.
