Symphonie-Kantate B-Dur Nr. 2-Mendelssohn's Lobgesang Op. 52 (Symphony No. 2) for SATB and Orchestra.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.'

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was commissioned by the city of Leipzig to write the Symphony Cantata Lobgesang for the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg. The work was given its first performance in Leipzigs Thomaskirche on 25 June 1840. Another performance took place at the Birmingham Music Festival on 23 September 1840. The composer created a hybrid genre here, a formal designation that he took quite literally and which he used here for the first and only time: after the three symphonic movements have flowed one into the other attacca, comes the Lobgesang Cantata in several sections Alles, was Odem hat. The present Urtext edition is the first to take into account the parts which were written for the first performances in Leipzig and which help clear up a number of discrepant readings.,,Der Herausgeber hat sich die Muhe gemacht, die 1841 im selben Verlag erstveroffentlichte Partitur mit dem Erstdruck der Stimmen zu vergleichen und konnte mit im Stimmensatz gefundenen Angaben zur Artikulation, Dynamik etc. die neue Partitur enorm bereichern. (Hans Gebhard, Chor und Konzert )The Urtext edition of the Lobgesang Symphony is the first to take into account the parts which were written for the first performances in Leipzig and which help clear up a number of discrepant readings.
