Mendelssohn - It is enough, O Lord now take away my life
guide vocal track
Felix Mendelssohn’s “It is enough! O Lord, now take away my life” from the oratorio Elijah is the prophet’s desolate prayer in the wilderness as he believes his mission has failed. Written for baritone, the aria moves with Bach-inspired clarity, its long, arching lines intertwined with an expressive cello obbligato that mirrors Elijah’s exhaustion and resolve. Subtle dynamic shading and sighing appoggiaturas invite sustained legato, centered breath support, and deeply felt phrasing. This is the guide vocal demonstration, recorded with a live studio orchestra.
