Mendelssohn - Psalm 42 : Wie der Hirsch schreit nach frischem Wasser, Op.42

[@miriamk6971]

When listening to music like this, I cannot stop wondering how humans can create and enjoy such beautiful masterpieces, indulge in these emotions, take part in the human experience of seeking company, comfort and a sense of belonging AND proclaim hatred, fight wars and resent alleged foreigners (although still fellow human beings). I guess I'll never understand…

spot on miriam

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 KJV

[@itamarbar9580]

One of the few choral pieces that give me chills.

[@ColinGreenlaw]

This cantata by Mendelssohn covers the whole gamut of disappointment, longing, hope, and confidence expressed by King David which were the holy musings and yearnings of the exiled king during Absalom’s rebellion. This Psalm was a favorite and appropriate to the experience of the early church.

The fugue at the end is ''ooooh' so very dramatic! Love it!

[@gandalf9460]

Die Nr. 6 ist soooo schön. Ich freu mich schon, wenn wir das im WiSe singen werden. Die Tenor- und Bass-Solisten sind der Wahnsinn. So gut komponiert. Hut ab, Herr Mendelssohn.

Un capolavoro

[@maurolaertedantas6763]

Música maravilhosa.

[@Nooticus]

Only just realised/worked out that the text in the (first part of the) final movement here is the same as the text in Movement 6 of Bach's monumental cantata BWV 21.

Sólo "el evang s/san mateo" llega a alcanzar semejante belleza... Salmo 42 e doppo morire..!

[@Enkaptaton]

Wie hören sich nach frischen Wasser schreiende Hirsche an? Klingt das wie röhren oder anders?

[@timothyser9967]

Schreitende

[@Enkaptaton]
