Amatori Choir and Orchestra present excerpts from Mendelsohn’s Oratorio ‘Elijah’ and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.

That Mendelssohn was a lover of Bach’s music is obvious not only because he was instrumental in reviving Bach’s music nearly a century after it had fallen out of fashion, but because his own music is riddled with high quality counterpoint. Like Bach, having begun a melody, he can’t restrain the impulse to treat it canonically or fugally. This invariably makes the music more complex, exciting to listen to (and often difficult to sing).
