Mendelssohn composed the Symphony No. 5 ("Reformation"), Op. 107, for eelebrations commemorating the Reformation and the Augsburg Confession. In it, he strove to formulate the idea of the Reformation in symphonie terms, conveying both the joy and suffering implicit in the subjeet, building to a powerful series of variations on Martin Luther's eonfessional ehorale Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott ("A mighty fortress is our God"). A staple of the orehestral repertoire, the work is reprinted here from the authoritative edition published by Breitkopf & Hairtel of Leipzig. |
