The work depicts the raising of Lazarus as a pivotal turning point in the ministry of Jesus—both the culmination of his public ministry and a premonition of his final journey to Jerusalem. The program will be complemented by Mendelssohn's chorale cantatas "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded" and "Christ, Thou Lamb of God," in which traditional chorale forms are combined with a Romantic musical language. Mendelssohn himself wrote of one of these cantatas: "I look forward to the piece, of which no one will know whether it is in C minor or E-flat major."
