Two answers required. Otto Goldschmidt, the husband of one of these two people, may have destroyed the letters that the other wrote to her, begging her to have an affair, and threatening suicide if she didn’t. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these two people, a composer and a singer. The composer wrote the solo “Hear Ye Israel” in his final oratorio for the singer, who worried that her rejection of him precipitated his premature death in 1847.
ANSWER: Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy AND Jenny Lind [accept Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in place of “Felix Mendelssohn”; accept Johanna Maria Lind in place of “Jenny Lind”] (That final oratorio is Elijah.)
[10m] Lind sang Mendelssohn’s Elijah to fund a scholarship for this city’s conservatory, which he founded. He also directed its Gewandhaus (“guh-VAHNT-house”) orchestra.
ANSWER: Leipzig
[10e] In 1866, Lind gave public performances of music by this then-14-year-old prodigy who became the first recipient of the Mendelssohn Scholarship. 12 years later, he wrote the music to H.M.S. Pinafore.
ANSWER: Arthur Sullivan [or Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan]
