Reader Jim K. suggested this week's Music Monday: Symphony No. 5 ("Reformation") by 19th-century German composer Felix Mendelssohn. The video below is of the 4th and final movement of the piece; the full, nearly 28-minute piece can be heard here. Mendelssohn composed this piece for a celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a key moment of the Protestant Reformation. The 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation will occur later this year.
