Ιδιαίτερα ξεχωριστή θέση στη μουσική παραγωγή του Mendelssohn έχουν τα θρησκευτικά του έργα, όπως η καντάτα Kommt, lasset uns anbeten [Ελάτε, Ας Προσκυνήσουμε]. Ακούμε δυο της μέρη, ένα ντουέτο [00:00] και το καταληκτικό χορωδιακό [03:21].
O Ψαλμός 95, πέρα από τον FM, έχει αποτελέσει πηγή έμπνευσης για συνθέτες όπως οι Heinrich Schütz και Thomas Tallis. Είναι ενσωματωμένος ως προσκλητήριο στο ξεκίνημα των εβραϊκών, καθολικών και ποικίλων προτεσταντικών λειτουργιών.

✻

A special place in Mendelssohn’s musical output is held by his religious works, such as the cantata Kommt, lasset uns anbeten [Come, Let Us Worship]. We hear two parts of it, a duet [00:00] and the concluding chorus [03:21].
Psalm 95, apart from FM, has been a source of inspiration for composers such as Heinrich Schütz and Thomas Tallis. It is incorporated as an invocation at the beginning of Jewish, Catholic and various Protestant services.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
