£84.99Wachet Auf! - Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
This excellent arrangement by Robert van Beringen is of the well-known German chorale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, taken from the oratorio Paulus (St. Paul) by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847). Although accredited to Mendelssohn it is thought the melody was in fact written by the pastor and poet Philipp Nicolai in 1599. Robert van Beringen's arrangement perfectly captures the biblical story of St. Paul.

Strausss Waltz Du und Du (You and You), published around the end of 1874, is based on motives from the operetta Die Fledermaus (The BaT) and named after one of its melodies, the famous chorus of Act II.

After the third and last waltz, the piece concludes with a coda that elaborates fragments from the previouswaltzes.
