#1 Obscure song query - Mendelssohn??

Post by adrian »

Dear all

this is an odd one. c.20 years ago one of the HiFi mags included a sampler CD. Track 6 (not sure why I recall this) was choral/religious music, by Mendelssohn I believe. It had a boy's voice backed by a male choir, probably a cathredral choir. The CD may have come with HFNRR but could have been HFW. Anyone got the foggiest idea of what I am on about and can let me have the song title?

Thanks

Adrian

That's obscure, I agree. I've got a few test albums. I'll take a look when I get home (Sat or Sun)
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

Could be the Te Deum which is for a male choir, or the Ave Maria, which often has a boy treble/soprano soloist.
