Summary of This Score
This Urtext edition presents Psalm no. 42 op. 42 "Wie der Hirsch schreit nach frischem Wasser" ("As the hart pants after the waterbrooks"), composed in 1837 for soloists, mixed choir, and large orchestra. Designed to meet the expectations of choir conductors, accompanists, and music libraries, it emphasizes the reliability of the musical text and editorial clarity while preserving the spirit of Mendelssohn's Romantic sacred music.
The edition was prepared by Mendelssohn specialist John Michael Cooper, based on the evaluation of the first printed edition of the score prepared by the composer, supplemented by the study of other essential sources. The result offers an accurate reading of writing choices (articulations, dynamics, phrasing details) and solid working material to prepare the interpretation, from sight-reading to choral rehearsal.
The publication is complemented by a substantial critical commentary (German/English) and by a piano reduction signed by Mendelssohn, included as an authentic part of the edition. The texts are provided in German and English, an asset for international ensembles and concert contexts where a bilingual version is desired.
