Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage (Mendelssohn)
text:
Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, Op. 27, is an orchestral concert overture by Felix Mendelssohn inspired by the same pair of poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe that inspired Beethoven's 1815 cantata of the same title. Mendelssohn's work was first performed on 7 September 1828 in Berlin. The titles of Goethe's two poems are not synonymous: in the days before steam, a totally calm sea was cause for alarm; it is only when the wind at last rises that the ship can continue on its journey. Mendelssohn
