Nancy Callahan explained, “This towering oratorio takes the chorus on a musical journey like no other. From the calm melodies in He Watching Over Israel to the jaunty The Fire Descends from Heav’n, TOS has captured the emotion and heart of Mendelssohn’s great work.” First premiered in 1846, Elijah tells the story of the prophet Elijah, his mission to lead the people of Israel back to God and his confrontation with the prophets of Baal. Performed in English, this oratorio combines blends powerful storytelling with rich, expressive music. |
