incidental music after Sophokles’s tragedy
Unjustly, Mendelssohn’s incidental music for Sophokles’ Greek tragedy Oedipus at Colonus is
less well known than its companion piece, “Antigone”, which was frequently performed in the 19th
century in Germany and abroad. For a time it was even his most popular work. Both works stem
from a commission from King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, whose declared aim was to once again make
the Greek tragedies and other outstanding examples of classical drama accessible to the public. In
1841, a year after his accession to the throne, he appointed Mendelssohn Royal Court Music
Director and gave commissions to write incidental music for four Greek tragedies, of which
“Oedipus at Colonus” from 1845 was the third. The score contains nine pieces in which the
choruses from Sophocles’ tragedy were set to music. The shame of Oedipus is symbolized by the
tritone as a weighty dissonance which powerfully permeates the entire work both in melodic
gesture and in harmonic aspects.
“At the moment no one appears more competent for Mendelssohn than Frieder Bernius, who for
many years has recorded [this composer’s] works for the Carus label, for which he has received
several awards.” (zeitzeichen, October 2009)
