Sechs Lieder op. 50

The Six songs Op. 50 are Mendelssohn’s only collection of pieces for male chorus which was printed during the composer’s lifetime. Our choral score also contains the ad libitum wind parts to Op. 50/2 as well as a preface in which the editor supplies the most important text-critical observations which will later be elucidated in detail in Volume VII/4 of the Leipzig Mendelssohn Edition.
