Mendelssohn's St. Paul with only seven instead of the usual 18 wind instruments? Thanks to this arrangement for chamber orchestra, this is now possible and an attractive alternative for the performance of Mendelssohn's first oratorio. After all, spatial conditions, a tight budget or the size of the choir often require a certain flexibility in the instrumentation.The arrangement is based on the Carus Urtext edition. By reducing the symphonic wind instrumentation in particular, the sound volume is reduced somewhat. However, the symphonic character and a high dynamic range are retained. All vocal parts (soli and chorus) are identical to the original version, so that the piano reductions, choral scores and practice aids of the Carus edition remain fully usable. - Large oratorio can also be performed by smaller choirs- Winds in the original version reduced to seven simple instruments - Piano reductions and choral scores from the original version can be used- carus plus: The work (original version) is available in carus music, the Choir Coach, as well as in the Carus Choir Coach practice series (audio only).
