High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Son and Stranger is the usual English title for Die Heimkehr aus der Fremde, a one-act operetta (Liederspiel) written by Felix Mendelssohn in 1829 to a German libretto by the composer's friend Karl Klingemann, a poet who would later provide the same service for the oratorio Elijah. The English title, sometimes also given as Return of the Roamer, derives from a translation by critic, playwright, and poet Henry Fothergill Chorley created for a London production of 1851 and still in use for the rare revivals in English-speaking countries. The work was published posthumously as Mendelssohn's op. 89. During his first visit to the British Isles in 1829, bad weather in August forced Mendelssohn to abandon a planned visit to Ireland and instead make an extended stay at the home of a new acquaintance, mining engineer and businessman John Taylor, near Mold, Wales. While there, Mendelssohn penned Son and Stranger as a short comic play with music for performance in honor of his parents' silver wedding anniversary upcoming in December.
