Beschreibung:
While Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) modestly refers to Hear My Prayer (Hör' mein Bitten) in G Major, WoO 15, as "a trifle," it is among his most popular works for chorus. On the autograph score, he inscribed the following: "A sacred Solo, for a Soprano and Chorus, with Organ accompaniment, composed for W. Bartholomew, Esq., by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy." William Bartholomew wrote the text, which is derived on Psalm 55, and requested that Mendelssohn set it to music. This version premiered on January 8, 1845, at Crosby Hall in London. In 1847, Mendelssohn orchestrated the work, but he passed before he could hear this version, which premiered on December 21, 1848, in Dublin. Instrumentation: 0.2.2.2: 2.0.0.0: Timp: Str (4-4-3-3-3): Solo Soprano: Mix Chorus. Vocal score with original organ accompaniment available separately. This edition adds reheasal numbers that match between the score, parts, and choral score.
