Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn describes to his friend Klingemann the 1840 work as 'a symphony for chorus and orchestra First three symphonic movements, to which 12 choral- and solo- movements are appendaged; the words from the Psalms, and indeed all pieces, vocal and instrumental, are composed in the words Everything which has breath, Praise the Lord ; one understands by this that first the instruments give praise in their own way, and then the chorus and the individual voices.' / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Solistes [SST], SSAATB et Orchestre
