Description
In 1831, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) completed a secular cantata based on the Goethe poem DIE ERSTE WALPURGISNACHT (THE FIRST WALPURGIS NIGHT). The poem relates the first celebration of May's Eve, first practiced by the Bavarian Druids who masquerade as demons to frighten the Christians living nearby. The composer conducted the first public performance on January 10, 1833 at the Sing-Akademie in Berlin. In 1843, he published the final revised version as OPUS 60, here presented in this Kalmus edition. The German vocal score (W747491) and the English vocal score (W700091) can be ordered separately. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 2.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(1-2): Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set): Soli ATB. Mixed Chorus. Reprint edition.
