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."
