Lobgesang
''Lobgesang'' (''Hymn of Praise''), Op. 52 (MWV A 18), is "A Symphony-Cantata on Words of the Holy Bible, for Soloists, Chorus and Orchestra" by Felix Mendelssohn. After the composer's death it was also published as his Symphony No. 2 in B-flat major, a naming and numbering that is not Mendelssohn's.
It requires two sopranos and a tenor as soloists, along with a chorus and orchestra. It lasts almost twice as long as any of Mendelssohn's other four symphonies.
==History==
It was composed in 1840, along with the less-known ''Festgesang "Gutenberg Cantata"'', to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the invention of printing.
In 1842 Mendelssohn had published his ''Scottish'' Symphony as "Symphony No. 3", however a "Symphony No. 2" had never been published during Mendelssohn's lifetime. Possibly the composer's intention was to spare this number for his earlier ''Italian'' Symphony, which he premiered in 1833, but afterwards withheld for a revision that was never completed. The ''Italian'' Symphony was published posthumously as "Symphony No. 4". Decades after Mendelssohn's death, the editors of the old Mendelssohn complete edition entered ''Lobgesang'' as "No. 2" in the sequence of this symphonies for editorial reasons.〔 However there is no indication that this represented the composer's intentions. The new Mendelssohn-Werkverzeichnis (MWV), published in 2009 by the Saxonian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, no longer lists ''Lobgesang'' among the symphonies, but rather among the sacred vocal works.〔〔(Grouping and overview of MWV numbers )〕
