SUMMARY:Mendelssohn Paulus
LOCATION:Helligaandskirken\, Niels Hemmingsens Gade 5\, 1151 København
DESCRIPTION:Melodic beauty in Mendelssohn Paulus\n\nFelix Mendelssohn Bar
 tholdy’s oratorio Paulus is one of the most significant works in the Ro
 mantic oratorio tradition. Marked by Mendelssohn’s characteristic clari
 ty of form\, melodic beauty and dramatic power\, it is regarded today as 
 one of the most important oratorios of the 19th century and is still perf
 ormed regularly in concert halls around the world. This is also the case 
 in Denmark\, with Københavns Kantatekor.\n\nPaulus is divided into two p
 arts and is structured like Händel’s Messias\, drawing on a range of b
 iblical texts\, but also incorporating chorales\, just as we know from Ba
 ch’s oratorios. Through a series of choral\, solo and orchestral passag
 es\, the work depicts Paulus’s dramatic life.\n\nAmong the musical high
 lights are the choral movements “Mache dich auf”\, followed by the im
 posing choral chorale “Wachet auf!” – “Zions vægter”\, as it i
 s known in Danish. These are among the most famous numbers and express a 
 powerful call to spiritual awakening.\n\nMendelssohn’s music is beautif
 ul\, grand\, heartfelt and expressive\, and in our view Paulus is a work 
 that deserves a far more central place than it currently holds. So come a
 long for a truly memorable experience with the large choir and orchestra.
  We look forward to welcoming you to the concerts\, which take place on: 
 Sunday 25 October at 15:00\, Store Magleby Kirke Wednesday 28 October at 
 19:30\, Helligaandskirken The soloists in Mendelssohn Paulus are: Katinka
