1 2 Editor s Note Abendlied (Eveng Song) was written by Felix Mendelssohn ( ), a German comoser, ianist, orist, and conductor. Mendelssohn is one of the roment musicians of the early Romantic Period (the years music history between aroxately 1780 to 1910). Origally written as an accomanied duet, have adated it for develog choirs. n this arrangement, have made an effort to kee the flavor of Mendelssohn s origal, while givg each of the voice arts their own small solo, after which are joed by the rest of the choir. n English text, have tried to mata the story and rhyme scheme of the origal German text. The otional reeat allows the choir to sg the first te German and the second te English, or vice versa. hoe you enjoy this adatation of Mendelssohn s Abendlied, which is tyical of the beautiful melodies all of his writg.
