Description
Part 1: Die Geburt Christi, Part 2: Das Leiden Christi Christus is a fragment of an oratorio which Mendelssohn never completed. He had probably planned a third section to follow the two sections Die Geburt Christi and Das Leiden Christi. Die Geburt Christi concentrates on a four-part choral section, introduced by two short sections for soloists.
