Mendelssohn described his 1840 work as “a symphony for chorus and orchestra”. The development from darkness to light forms the most important poetic image in it. In several numbers the biblical message is initially expounded by a soloist, then taken up by the chorus, repeated and expanded. The important role played by the chorus is also reflected in the difficulty of some passages. Above all, in the crowning final movement, there should be no trace of tiredness ...

In 1837 Robert Schumann judged Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 Wie der Hirsch schreit (Like as the hart) as the “highest standard which has been achieved amongst recent church music”. This work is truly a favorite of many choirs, however, the final chorus contains a few tricky problem passages: in particular, the wonderful quintet requires perfect intonation from the four male voices to provide a secure basis over which the bell-like clarity of the solo soprano floats ...

The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate Audio CD or MP3 and download containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions:

Original recording
Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background
Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively.

Performers: Ruth Ziesak (soprano), Jan Kobow, Christoph Prégardien (tenore), Gotthold Schwarz, Adolph Seidel (basso) – Kammerchor Stuttgart, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen – Frieder Bernius

Psalm texts inspired Mendelssohn throughout his life, and as well as unaccompanied pieces, he wrote five major orchestral psalm settings. Their new kind of form, somewhere between that of a Bach cantata and the oratorios of Handel, became highly regarded in the 19th century. Psalm 95 begins with a joyful exhortation to worship the Lord, but then turns into a warning against disobeying God’s word. Mendelssohn develops this contrast strongly in the music: the first part is characterized by solemnity. In the second section the musical language is more fragile and intimate, the phrases are longer and, if the choir follows the conductor closely, the tutti in the final chorus can have a flowing character in some passages, and sometimes a pressing and dramatic character elsewhere.
