Presentation transcript:

Composer of the Month Felix Mendelssohn 1809 - 1847 Mendelssohn is know as a composer in the “Romantic” period of 1810 to 1900. Art and music at the time focused on more spiritual aspects of life. Mendelssohn wrote symphonies, concerti, oratorios, chamber music and piano music. His most famous works include The Overture to The Hebrides; Song Without Words; and music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream often heard at weddings. A tune he wrote was later arranged for a Christmas carol! “Ever since I began to compose, I have remained true to my starting principle: not to write a page because no matter what public, or what pretty girl wanted it to be thus or thus; but to write solely as I myself thought best, and as it gave me pleasure.
