Elijah: An Oratorio (Vocal Score)

Elijah: An Oratorio (Vocal Score) by Felix Mendelssohn is published by G. Schirmer, Inc. This edition, listed as Ed. 43, is part of the esteemed G. Schirmer's Editions of Oratorios and Cantatas. Mendelssohn’s composition, renowned for its rich choral arrangements, is designed for a full chorus of mixed voices, including soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone soli, alongside a piano accompaniment. This specific edition does not provide a publication year, and the paperback format suggests it is a practical choice for choir directors and performers. The book is in fair condition with visible wear and a pencil marking on the cover, making it a serviceable copy for study and performance rather than a collector's item. Mendelssohn's work remains a staple in choral music, celebrated for its dramatic and emotive qualities.
