Voicing: SATB, a cappella
1. Im Walde 2. Jaglied
Felix Mendelssohn (Composer)
Scott MacPherson (Editor)
from Sech Lieder im Freien zu singen
Scott MacPhereson's edition of Mendelssohn's Im Walde and Jaglied brings these pieces that were, in the composer's words, meant to be sung in the open air into the concert hall. Beautifully lyrical, Im Walde features a simplicity of means that perfectly highlights the text, while the quick and rhythmic Jaglied mimics the sound of galloping horses as it illustrates a hunting scene.
