Overture "The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave)", Op. 26, MWV P 7 (with Score)
Composed: 1830, revised 1832
Conductor: Claudio Abbado
Orchestra: London Symphony Orchestra
Felix Mendelssohn's concert overture The Hebrides (Die Hebriden) was composed in 1830, revised in 1832, and published the next year as his Op. 26. Some consider it an early tone poem.
It was inspired by one of Mendelssohn's trips to the British Isles, specifically an 1829 excursion to the Scottish island of Staffa, with its basalt sea cave known as Fingal's Cave. It was reported that the composer immediately jotted down the opening theme for his composition after seeing the island. He at first called the work To the Lonely Island or Zur einsamen Insel, but then settled on the present title. However, in 1834, the year after the first publication, Breitkopf & Härtel issued an edition with the name Fingalshöhle (Fingal's Cave) and this title stuck, causing some confusion.
Being a concert overture, The Hebrides does not precede a play or opera, but is instead a standalone composition in a form common for the Romantic period. Dedicated to King Frederick William IV of Prussia, then Crown Prince of Prussia, the B minor work became part of the standard orchestral repertoire and retains this position to the present day.
The music, though labelled as an overture, is intended to stand as a complete work. Although programme music, it does not tell a specific story and is not "about" anything; instead, the piece depicts a mood and "sets a scene", making it an early example of such musical tone poems. The overture consists of two primary themes; the opening notes of the overture state the theme Mendelssohn wrote while visiting the cave, and is played initially by the violas, cellos, and bassoons. This lyrical theme, suggestive of the power and stunning beauty of the cave, is intended to develop feelings of loneliness and solitude. The second theme, meanwhile, depicts movement at sea and "rolling waves".
Extra points if you are here cuz you loved playing this in orchestra ✨😱🎻
I played this with Salford symphony with italian conductor. It was epic! I've never heard any recording where people played with such a spirit as we did. No wonder Brahms said he would have given all his symphonies for rhis one piece
What about points for suffering in music A level 🥺
One is my favourite scores. This was A level music for me. First time I had to follow a full orchestral score.

played this once and will be playing it again in verizon hall. unbelievable how this was early romanticism. the tone poem-esque nature of this piece is freaking outstanding on so many levels
Spellbinding, from the first note to the last.
