Scores for all the above, except for Scheidend, are collected together in Peters Edition no. 1747. This volume also contains five duets of a religious or operatic nature, plus a duet by Fanny Henselt-Mendelssohn. Despite the indication on page 1 that the two voices are soprano I and soprano II, they can be sung well by a female/male pair of voices.
Recordings of all the above are available on three Hyperion CDs, interspersed with solo songs and duets by Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny. Sound samples can be heard on the Hyperion website.
