Summary of This Score
This edition presents "Elias / Elijah" in the form of a Piano Reduction/Vocal Score, designed to support both individual learning and group work. Thanks to the clearly presented vocal writing, it facilitates the setup of ensembles (balances, entrances, articulations) and the preparation of soloists, while providing the pianist with a coherent support to render the harmonic and rhythmic framework of the orchestra.
The volume opens with a Preface / Vorwort (preface in English and German), followed by a Verzeichnis der Nummern / Index of Numbers allowing quick identification of the different numbers. The work is then structured into Erster Teil / First Part and Zweiter Teil / Second Part, complemented by an Anhang / Appendix. With a duration of approximately 130 minutes, this score is intended for choirs and ensembles seeking a large-scale work, both demanding and particularly educational, whether for style work, ensemble precision, or concert preparation.
