The lyrics are based on Goethe's poem of the same name. Mendelssohn began composing the piece in 1831; after its premiere in 1832, he set the cantata aside for a decade. Towards the end of 1842, Mendelssohn began making revisions; after the 1843 revision, the performance was well received. The score was officially published the same year. The imagery of “Die erste Walpurgisnacht” is influenced by Goethe’s “Faust” and other folk tales, commonly perceived as a “witches’ night”. However, this work differs from the scenes in “Faust”. It depicts the time when winter is passing and spring is approaching, with the Druids disguising themselves as devils to scare away the Christians, allowing them to hold ancient sacred rituals in the mountains.Due to the content of the poem, and Goethe’s indication that it “has highly symbolic significance”, scholars have discussed whether Mendelssohn’s choice of this text for his musical composition is related to his Jewish identity.This thesis begins with an overview of Mendelssohn and his family's relationship to their Jewish heritage. Next, it explores the origins and historical context of Goethe's poem, as well as Mendelssohn's process and thoughts in composing his cantata based on Goethe's text. A review of the scholarly literature focused on the piece is presented. Finally, the thesis gives an interpretation of the work from the perspective of a conductor, including this author's experience rehearsing the piece. This will serve as a potential guide for future performances.孟德爾頌最初的沃布爾吉斯之夜歌德清唱劇MendelssohnDie erste WalpurgisnachtGoetheCantata學術論文
