Vom Himmel hoch (From Heaven on High)

Season 2024 Episode 1 | 2m 55s

A young Felix Mendelssohn wrote this Christmas cantata based on Martin Luther鈥檚 鈥淰om Himmel hoch.鈥 Mendelssohn鈥檚 inspiration sprang not from Luther directly, but from his own respect for J. S. Bach, who had also borrowed Luther鈥檚 hymn frequently. This performance, by The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with the Gabriel Trumpet Ensemble, culminates with the final, triumphant stanza of Luther鈥檚 hymn.

Joy: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir, featuring Michael Maliakel and Lesley Nicol, was made possible in part by Ronald C. & Kaye Gunnel, and Charles & Janet Stoddard. The Tabernacle Choir provides artistic expressions of faith from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This program is co-presented by GBH Boston and BYUtv.
