Hello, Mr. Hedley. My name is Adrian Alegre, Im a novel conductor from Cuba and I was recently listening to a very peculiar version of psalm 43 "Richte mich, Gott by Felix Mendelssohn sung by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, under the conduction of Daniel Reuss. I also read your preview about the CD and the music and I just can say that I am amused and in love with that specific arrangment and sadly jump to the same conclusion of never being able to find that specific score. I came here with hope of getting some advice from you, because I want to be able to sing that arrangement with the choir I am conducting (we sung the original a few years ago and we loved the experience). I apologize for the inconveniences and greatly hope for your response. Please, forgive my english. Is not my first language. Sincerely...
Adrian Alegre Guerra and Chamber Choir "Cantores de Cienfuegos", from Cuba.
Hello, Adrian, and thank you for getting touch. It’s a real pleasure to hear from you. Mendelssohn’s Richte mich, Gott is one of my favourite short choral pieces, and I’m very happy that you like it too. I always used the Breitkopf edition with my choirs, so I was surprised when I heard the Estonian Philharmonic Choir sing another version. I have done a little research and find that Carus publishes both versions. You will find the one the Estonians sing at https://www.carusmedia.com/images-intern/medien//40/4012540/4012540x.pdf. I hope this helps and if you need anything else just let me know. Very best wishes, William.
