Felix Mendelssohn
Felix Mendelssohn was the grandson of Moses Mendelssohn, one of the great Jewish philosophers in Age of Enlightenment. Felix became a remarkable composer who, unfortunately, lived a very short life. However, he did leave us a legacy of some great music that describes a variety of situations – scenes of nature, the beauty of Italy and Scotland, and plays by Shakespeare. How can we even think of having a wedding without listening to Mendelssohn?
