As you sing or listen I want you to have a picture in your mind of Mendelssohn himself and of the characters in the work. This understanding can’t help but increase your enjoyment and involvement in the music.

I don’t want you to sing or hear the words of the priests of Baal, for instance, without knowing who they are and what ends up happening to them.

This material isn’t meant to be scholarly or definitive, but to be . . . fun.

Description

I’m all about the story and characters, and I leave the musical analysis to others. The sections deal first with Mendelssohn himself, then with the process he followed in writing the work, and then take a look at the major characters involved as they appear in the story. As a small bonus, I include a work of art to illustrate each section.

  • Who was the bigger prodigy, Mozart or Mendelssohn?
  • Why is Mendelssohn sometimes listed as Mendelssohn-Bartholdy?
  • What are the movements of Elijah?
  • How did Mendelssohn get the idea to write his oratorio Elijah?

I discuss these questions and many more in this book.
