Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah(Op. 70, 1846) is a dramatic, widely beloved oratorio detailing the Old Testament prophet’s life, including a drought, contest with Baal, and ascension to heaven. Renowned for its vivid, almost operatic storytelling, powerful choruses, and heartfelt solos like "O rest in the Lord," it remains a choral staple.
