Oxford Harmonic Choir Autumn concert - Mendelssohn St. Paul
St. Paul is the first of two oratorios completed by Felix Mendelssohn in his lifetime, the second being the well-known Elijah. St. Paul is just as dramatic and tuneful as its successor. It is a very moving portrait of an influential (and widely misunderstood) figure in early Christianity, with Paul’s conversion and martyrdom as its main points of focus. It displays the composer’s debt to the Baroque era (particularly Bach) much more openly than Elijah does, and at least two of the hymn tunes Mendelssohn quotes in the process are still in popular use today!
