This Urtext edition of Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise ("Lobgesang") ten-movement cantata includes an introduction in English and German. The original German-language libretto is based on texts from the Luther Bible and Martin Rinckart. This edition also includes singing texts in German and English by Charles Henry Monicke, as approved by the composer. Detailed translation notes are also given. The vocal score is based on Mendelssohn's own reduction of the music for voices and piano.
