SUMMARY:Lobgesang: Works by Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn
DESCRIPTION:Felix Mendelssohn's Lobgesang is a resounding celebration of t
 he virtues of knowledge\, the work having been commissioned to celebrate t
 he 400th anniversary of the invention of the moveable-type printing press 
 by Johannes Gutenberg in 1440.  It echoes the composer's two great musica
 l heroes - Beethoven in the form of the work\, which is the final\, choral
  movement of a symphony\, and Bach in the venue of the first performance\,
  the Thomaskirche in Leipzig.\n\nThe earlier Lobgesang by his sister Fan
 ny Mendelssohn Hensel was composed to celebrate the first birthday of her 
 son Sebastian\, and is in the form of a Bach cantata but with echoes of Ha
 ydn's late oratorios.\n\nFelix's short Verleih uns Frieden\, from the sam
 e year as his sister's cantata\, is a sumptuous setting of a prayer for pe
 ace by Martin Luther.\n \n \n \n\nFor full event details\, visit: https
