Simrock printed the first edition of the piano-vocal score in December 1836 and the full score the following spring. <br/><br/>Mendelssohn distinguished himself in many fields and his contributions to sacred choral music are no exception. He was the most prominent advocate for the music of J.S. Bach reviving the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 and helped to reestablish the oratorio by providing two superb examples: St. Paul 1836 and Elijah 1846.<br/><br/>"From Bach's Passions and Handel's oratorios Mendelssohn borrowed the use of the traditional narrator to relate in recitatives the dramatic action of the work. Conspicuously Bachian are the chorales interspersed throughout the oratorio to demarcate the principal structural divisions diffusing according to Carl Klingemann 'a calmness through the whole'. On the other hand a debt to Handel is revealed in the rich variety of the choruses which include several that directly engage in the dramatic action and several cast in a variety of fugal styles. Prefacing the oratorio is an overture that evokes Paul's struggle for spiritual awakening by means of the chorale Wachet auf and a dissonant fugue with its subject derived from the first strain of the chorale." R. Larry Todd in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Horace Middleton was a British-born musician who served on the faculty of Bennett College from 1919 to the mid-1930s.

There he visited the famous Fingal's Cave in the Inner Hebrides named after the mythological Gaelic hero Fingal largely a creation of Scottish poet James Macpherson. Mendelssohn revised portions of the overture numerous times including the title. It was first performed as The Isles of Fingal by the Philharmonic Society in London 14 May 1832. Although Mendelssohn finally settled on Die Hebriden as the title the first editions were published as Fingals-Höhle.<br/><br/>One of the most gifted and versatile prodigies Mendelssohn stood at the forefront of German music during the 1830s and 40s as conductor pianist organist and above all composer.
