Die Heimkehr aus der Fremde
''Die Heimkehr aus der Fremde'' (German, ''Return of the stranger''), known in English as ''Son and stranger'' or ''Return of the roamer'',〔〔(Program notes for Concert Opera Boston performance ) of March 15, 2009, accessed November 23, 2009〕 or is a one-act Singspiel〔(Aldrich, Richard, "Of Music and Musicians: Hugo Wolff, His Songs and His Admirers—Mendelssohn's "Return of the Roamer" and Its Origin" ), ''The New York Times'', November 22, 1903, accessed November 23, 2009〕 written by Felix Mendelssohn in 1829〔(Davies, Rhian, "Mendelssohn in Mold," BBC Northeast Wales site, accessed November 23, 2009 )〕 to a German libretto by the composer's friend Karl Klingemann, a poet who would later provide the text for the oratorio ''Elijah''.〔 The English title ''Son and stranger'' originated with the translation by Mendelssohn's friend, the critic Henry Chorley, created for a London production of 1851〔 and still often used for the rare revivals in English-speaking countries. The work was published posthumously as Mendelssohn's Op. 89.〔
==Background==
During his first visit to the British Isles in 1829, bad weather in August forced Mendelssohn to abandon a planned visit to Ireland and instead make an extended stay at the home of a new acquaintance, mining engineer and businessman John Taylor, near Mold, Wales. While there, Mendelssohn penned ''Die Heimkehr aus der Fremde'' as a short comic play with music for performance in honor of his parents' silver wedding anniversary upcoming in December.〔 The first performance was at the Mendelssohn family home on 26 December 1829 before an audience of 120. As the composer considered the work a piece for a strictly private occasion, it was not published in his lifetime, despite his mother's urgings to the contrary,〔 and no public performance took place until a production, two years after the composer's death, in Leipzig on 10 April 1851; the first performance in England was also in 1851, for which Chorley's translation was written.〔("Son and Stranger" ), in ''Oxford Dictionary of Music'', accessed 20 January 2015〕
Mendelssohn himself conducted the first, private production, and all the roles were assumed by family members or associates of the composer, only one of whom, tenor Eduard Mantius, was a professional singer. As a consequence, the score contains a musical peculiarity: the mayor's part comprises only a few bars of music, all written on the single note F, because its creator, Mendelssohn's brother-in-law Wilhelm Hensel, had no ability as a singer.〔
