Elijah - vocal score - old Novello edition

In writing Elijah, Mendelssohn paid musical tribute to his two musical heroes, Bach and Handel, to which he added his own lyricism and Orchestral colour, blending, in Elijah, elements of the Baroque and his own early Romanticism. He set the scenes of the prophet Elijah’s life in the most dramatic terms. While the oratorio immediately gained enormous popularity, it has not retained the same frequency of performance in modern times, though its power and beauty are undiminished.This sheet music includes thorough historical notes.
