The full title is Festgesang zur Er\u00f6ffnung der am ersten Tage der vierten S\u00e4kularfeier der Erfindung der Buchdruckerkunst auf dem Marktplatz zu Leipzig stattfindenden Feierlichkeiten (Ceremonial song for the opening of the celebrations taking place on the first day of the quadricentennial celebration of the invention of the art of printing on the market square in Leipzig). It was first performed in the market-square at Leipzig on 24 June 1840.[1]The piece is scored for male chorus with two brass orchestras and timpani, and consists of four parts, the first and last based on established Lutheran chorales. Part 2, beginning “Vaterland, in deinen Gauen”, was later adapted to the words of Charles Wesley\u2019s Christmas carol “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” (against Wesley’s original request, as he had originally wanted more somber music, though he had been long deceased by this point). The original German words for Festgesang were by Adolf Eduard Proelss (1803\u20131882).[1] The use of a large choir and two orchestras was designed to make use of the natural acoustics of the market-place to produce an impressive, resonant sound.Mendelssohn wrote at least two other “Festges\u00e4nge”, with which the present work are sometimes confused, known as Festgesang an die K\u00fcnstler (1846) and Festgesang (\u201cM\u00f6ge das Siegeszeichen\u201d [1838]).[2]German1. ChoralBegeht mit heil\u2019gem Lobgesangdie gro\u00dfe Freudenstunde,kommt, singet tausendstimmig Dankdem Herrn mit Herz und Munde.Er hat uns diesen Tag gemacht,er hat aus dicht verh\u00fcllter Nachtdas Licht hervorgerufen.Jahrhunderte schon freuen sichin seinem hellen Strahle,und immer weiter gie\u00dft es sichbis in die fernsten Tale.Wo Finsternis und Gram einst lag,da gl\u00e4nzt nun sonnenhell der Tag.O preist den Gott der Liebe!2. LiedVaterland, in deinen Gauenbrach der goldne Tag einst an.Deutschland, deine V\u00f6lker sahnseinen Schimmer niedertauen.Gutenberg, der deutsche Mann,z\u00fcndete die Fackel an.Neues, allgewaltges Strebenwogt im Land des Lichtes auf,seinem raschen Siegeslauffolgt ein allbegl\u00fcckend Leben.Gutenberg, der gro\u00dfe Mann,hat dies hehre Werk getan.Ob die Finsternis sich wehrt,ob sie f\u00fchret tausend Streiche,ob sie w\u00fctet, sich emp\u00f6rt,sie erblasst, sie sinkt als Leiche,doch gekr\u00f6nt als Siegesheld,steht das Licht vor aller Welt.Gutenberg, du wackrer Mann,du stehst glorreich auf dem Plan.3. Allegro moltoDer Herr, der sprach: Es werde Licht!Er half im harten Streite,er stand mit Trost und Zuversichtbesch\u00fctzend dir zur Seite.Der Glaube an sein heilig Wortwar deine Wehr, dein Schild, dein Hort,so musstest du gewinnen.Heil dir, nun kr\u00f6nt Unsterblichkeitdich, frommer Held, mit HerrlichkeitHeil dir, Heil uns in Ewigkeit.4. ChoralHeil ihm! Heil uns! So schalltzu deinen heilgen Thronen,Herr, unser Gott, hinaufder Ruf von Millionen,und br\u00fcnstig flehen wir:lass in des Lichtes Scheinder ganzen Menschheit Heil,Herr, immermehr gedeihn.References[edit]^ a b Todd, R.
