About

With his secular part-songs, Mendelssohn put his finger on the pulse of his age. In the period leading up to the 1848 revolution, a tradition of public music-making developed with breathtaking rapidity. In the first half of the 19th century a capella was cultivated both in private and in public so Mendelssohn’s part-songs enjoyed an immediate popularity.
 
His works were technically ambitious while retaining the character of folksong. Composed 1834 to 1847, thirty secular partsongs for mixed voices have been left to us.
