Mendelssohn’s extraordinary symphonic cantata Hymn of Praise, greatly influenced by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, was commissioned to celebrate the 400th anniversary of a seminal moment in human history: the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg. Appropriately, Mendelssohn chose the Bible as the subject matter for this commission, and created a work that has been celebrated through the centuries for its sublime beauty.
