The First Walpurgis Night, Op. 60. Ballade by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. 1809-1847. Edited by John Michael Cooper. Arranged by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. For alto voice solo, tenor voice solo, baritone voice solo, bass voice solo, SATB choir, 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, concert drum, suspended cymbal, 2 violins, viola, cello, double bass. This edition. Paperback, Urtext edition. Paperback. Level 3. Piano reduction. Language. German. English. Opus 60. 100 pages. Duration 35 minutes. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag. BA.BA9072-90. ISBN 9790006534876. With Language. German. English. 27 x 19 cm inches. During the summer of 1799, Goethe wrote his ballad Die erste Walpurgisnachtand asked his friend Carl Friedrich Zelter to set the work to music. Zelter however felt unable to do this, and so Goethe's wish was only realized thirty years later by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The "heavenly words" of the pagan ballad had impressed and inspired the composer very much during a visit to Weimar. In 1832 the composition took shape and was performed a year later in the Sing-Akademie in Berlin. Mendelssohn was, however, unhappy with the first version of the work and held it back, until he decided on a radical revision ten years after the premiere. Die erste Walpurgisnacht was first performed in 1843 in Leipzig, in the presence of Robert Schumann and Hector Berlioz, in the form in which the work is still performed today.
