Composer Simon Holt 's The Legend Of Melusine was commissioned in 2014 by the Southbank Centre to celebrate the return of the Royal Festival Hall Organ, and to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Royal College of Organists. The work lasts around 12 minutes and is arranged for Boy Treble Voice and Organ. This unique work sees the Organ as an accompaniment and complement to both the narration and singing of the Boy Treble throughout. The words of The Legend Of Melusine , written by Holt  himself, portrays a version of the Melusine myth of European folklore, a feminine spirit of the water that turns into a serpent from the waist down. This wonderfully engaging tale ismatched by the superb vocal melodies and accompanying Organ work. .

A visit to the opera whetted the composers creative appetite to explore the fairy-tale-like theme of Knight Raimunds love for the beautiful mermaid Melusine, which provided the basis for Mendelssohns fourth concert overture. As usual, Mendelssohn worked out the composition in his mind before committing it to paper, a task he most likely began towards the end of March 1833. The works premiere performance took place in London on 7 April 1834; the revised version was given its first account in Leipzig on 23 November 1835. Its ranking as No. 4 of the concert overtures was assigned around 1857 in a posthumous edition.(Ralf Wehner in the Study Edition of the Mendelssohn Work Catalogue).
