What do you know about the prophet Elijah except that he was fed by ravens during a period when he was fleeing his angry king? On the last Sunday in April and the first three in May Grace Church, Skinker at Waterman) is offering a four part opportunity to become familiar with one of the great historical characters of the Old Testament.
On May 6 and 20 parts I and II of Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elijah will be sung at the eleven o’clock service by the Grace Church choir, one of the best choirs in the metropolitan area.
On April 29 and May 13, the Reverend Robert Gordon will preach on the character and meaning of the prophet’s life and work.
The oratorio was written in 1846 for the Birmingham (England) Festival, at which Mendelssohn had been invited to conduct. It was an immediate success but the composer made several revisions before its first London performance in 1847. Excerpts are frequently sung by church choirs, but it is not often sung in its entirety. There will be only minor omissions in the Grace Church performance.
People in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood are cordially invited to attend any or all of the three services still to be held.
