Elijah (oratorio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Elijah is an oratorio written by Felix Mendelssohn in 1846 for the Birmingham Festival. It depicts various events in the life of the Biblical prophet Elijah, taken from the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings in the Old Testament and is considered one of the greatest oratorios of all time. Among the episodes are the resurrection of a dead youth, the bringing of rain to parched Israel through Elijah's prayers, and the bodily assumption of Elijah on a fiery chariot into heaven. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Elijah_(oratorio)   (616 words)

Portland Chamber Orchestra: "Elijah" An Oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) Elijah, a Tishbite from the region of Gilead, was a prophet in Israel during the reigns of Ahab, Ahaziah and Jehoram. Elijah parted the waters of the Jordan River, by striking it with his mantle, and crossed on dry ground with his understudy, Elisha.

Portland Chamber Orchestra: "Elijah" An Oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn Had the composer written his greatest oratorio not in 1845 but rather a century and a half later, he might well have had the movie rights in mind. Young soprano Megan Leader, singing the role of the boy called to look for signs of rain as Elijah called upon the Lord to end the drought afflicting the Israelites, was as disarmingly guileless in her pure high notes as she was in her stage presence. Situated in the choir loft at the opposite end of the room from the rest of the ensemble, the youth of Cantores sang the part of the angels and sounded appropriately ethereal and luminous. www.portlandchamberorchestra.com /2004-2005%20season/elijah/elijah-critique.htm   (568 words)

Elijah - smh.com.au It draws on the Old Testament story of the prophet Elijah, a larger-than-life and charismatic figure, though vengeful and stern, who seeks to lead an idolatrous nation towards the path of God. Just as Elijah makes fairly tough demands on the Israelites (imposing on them drought, famine and some rather antisocial behaviour with the prophets of Baal), so too does Mendelssohn have high expectations of his performers. But then, Elijah is a bit of a rough diamond, and Sumegi's performance offered other opportunities, such as the widows scene, to gauge the character's tender side. www.smh.com.au /articles/2003/05/11/1052591675558.html   (418 words)

CMS and Ars Viva present Mendelssohn's Elijah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) Though his initial response was to accept the invitation warmly, he cautioned that he was not at all sure that the new oratorio could be ready in time. Though the work was first presented in English at the premiere and at later performances in England, Mendelssohn and Schubring had taken their text from the German Lutheran Bible, and the music was composed to the rhythms of the German text. But overall the work was a faithful rendering of Mendelssohn's vision of the dramatic story of Elijah's conflicts, both internal and external, as he struggled to present his vision to the Old Testament peoples. www.chicagomastersingers.org /elijah2.html   (775 words)
