Psalm texts inspired Mendelssohn throughout his career; Schumann described the setting of the 42nd Psalm in 1837 as "the highest level that he [Mendelssohn] reached as a church composer, indeed that modern church music has reached at all".This arrangement of Mendelssohn's cantata Wie der Hirsch schreit also allows smaller choirs and choirs with limited space or financial resources to perform the popular work. The original symphonic wind section has been reduced from 15 winds to five. All vocal parts (soli and choir) are identical to the original version, so that piano reductions and choir scores can be used. Can be performed by smaller choirs with less instrumental effort Can be performed with piano reductions and choral scores from the original version Complete orchestral material available on loan. carus plus: The work (original version) is available in the app carus music, the Choir Coach, as well as in the series Carus Choir Coach (audio only).
