Our final piece is“Thanks Be To God” (https://youtu.be/NQAHIcghfAM?si=7azuVOUo1u9hBHTU) from German composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn’s oratorio “Elijah, Op. 70, MWV A 25”. Despite Mendelssohn being an early Romanic era composer, “Elijah” was heavily inspired by the work of Baroque era composers Handel and J.S. Bach. It’s based on bible verses related to Elijah . This section closes “Part 1” with Elijah ‘s thankfulness for prayers being answered.
