Die acht Sonaten von Guilmant orientieren sich am klassischen Standard. Ursprunglich fur die Cavaille-Coll-Orgel gedacht, lassen sie sich jedoch ebenso gut auf ausserfranzosischen Orgeln ausfuhren. Zur Zeit Ihrer Entstehung waren Sie ein Novum fur die Orgel und ihre Literatur, die beide im 19. Jahrhundert an Bedeutung verloren hatten. Guilmants Kompositionen, reich an Melodik, Harmonik und vollendeter Satztechnik, spiegeln Klangmoglichkeiten und Farbenreichtum der ihm zur Verfugung stehenden Orgeln wider. Sein Einfallsreichtum und seine flussige Kompositionstechnik beeinflussten die Entwicklung der Orgelfuge in ahnlicher Weise, wie Mendelssohn dieses fur die Klavierfuge bewirkt hatte. Im Zeitraum des Vierteljahrhunderts, in dem Guilmant seine Orgelsonaten schuf, vollzogen sich im Bereich der instrumentalen Spieltechnik bedeutende Veranderungen. An Spieler und Instrument wurden nun grossere Anforderungen gestellt.

Mendelssohn's setting of Psalm 98 was written in a few weeks to satisfy a commission in his new position as general music director of Prussia and was premiered by the Berlin Cathedral Choir on 1 January 1844. As he neither released the work for publication nor produced a vocal score, his psalm setting did not appear in print until after his death.For this edition the authoritative Mendelssohn specialist John Michael Cooper drew primarily on the autograph score with its many subsequent corrections and amendments. In this way it differs from many other editions, which tend to treat the autograph as a subordinate source. Rounding off the edition are an informative Foreword and a detailed Critical Commentary. The piano reduction is based on the first printed edition, published by F. Kistner and Evers & Co. in 1851.

The Reformation Symphony was composed in 1830 for the 300th anniversary of the Confessio Augustana, the founding of the Lutheran confession of faith. In the fourth movement, Mendelssohn quotes, elaborates and varies artfully the Luther-chorale Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott [God is our fortress], erecting a musical monument to the reformer Martin Luther. After an initial confl icting reception, the Reformation Symphony meanwhile is established fi rmly in the concert repertoire. EB 8058 is intended for performances with organ. It can also be used for the preparation of the chorus and soloists for performances with orchestra.With regard to the anniversary of the Reformation in 2017, this version for solos, choir and organ by Torsten Sterzik originated to pave the Reformation Symphony's way into the church as well, restoring the text to Luther's chorale in the fourth movement and additionally including the third movement, its arioso solos being sung by a soprano and a tenor solo.

A quiet, six-minute composition of four variations on the German chorale tune MUNICH, adapted by Mendelssohn, that is commonly associated with the text O Word of God Incarnate. Written in D Major, the melody is first presented on a soft solo reed in meter. A chromatic variation without pedal in B minor is next, followed by one in which each phrase is repeated an octave higher, and finally by a return to the solo stop that augments and embellishes the melody. The harmonies are pleasing and the tune easy to follow.

Mendelssohn describes to his friend Klingemann the 1840 work as a 'symphony for chorus and orchestra'... First three symphonic movements, to which 12 choral- and solo- movements are appendaged; the words from the Psalms, and indeed all pieces, vocal and instrumental, are composed in the words 'Everything which has breath, Praise the Lord'; one understands by this that first the instruments give praise in their own way, and then the chorus and the individual voices. This work is now available in carus music, the choir app! Score available separately - see item CA.4007600.
