G-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The G major mass of Mozart followed a very special type of mass pattern, namely, that of the 'Missa pastoralis'. In Mozart's time it was a widespread type of mass, especially in Bohemia and Italy, in which melodies and rhythms like those familiar from pastoral Christmas music were frequently found. The themes in this type of mass are song-like and often make use…

über Christ lag in Todesbanden. Par ZACHOW FRIEDRICH WILHELM. Über 'Christ Lag In Todesbanden' / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur SATB et Basse Continue

Den fünf Sätzen dieser Parodiemesse liegen fünf 'Lieder ohne Worte' aus Leo? Janáceks Klavierzyklus 'Auf verwachsenen Pfaden' zugrunde. Der Komponist verzichtet auf die Vertonung des Credo und hält so die Form einer Missa brevis. Er beschreibt sein Werk als Parodie, Arrangement und Kontrafaktur und einer somit vollzogenen Metamorphose der Klavierstücke Janáceks. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Instrument…

Spaur-Messe. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The relatively unspectacular nature of the 'Spaur Mass' may be one of the reasons for the fact that writers on music generally refer to it only as a peripheral work, a little sister of Mozart's 'important' church works. With regard to scoring, the 'Spaur Mass' belongs to the category of the 'missa solemnis', but its brevity and its stylistic character belo…

Tonalité : C-Dur -. Par RICHTER FRANZ XAVER. It may assumed that this Mass dates from the earlier part of Richter's career. The scoring is relatively light, and in its overall dimensions the C major Mass belongs to the category of the missa brevis rather than that of the cantata mass such as Richter often composed. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Violons,

B-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. To a greater extent than almost any others, Mozart's Masses combine a very high degree of artistic accomplishment and tonal beauty with fulfilment of the demands made by the Liturgy. Even the textually expansive movements 'Gloria' and 'Credo' are, in most of Mozart's Masses, short enough to meet the requirements of a festive service, today as in his time. The ch…

h-Moll. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. Telemann’s unusually lightly scored Kyrie-Gloria Mass is a work of his Leipzig period [1701–1705]. In seven movements the young composer knew how to create with the voice [a–d2] and the small instrumental ensemble a rich palette of forms and affections. / Messe / Répertoire / Solo à (B), 2 Violons et Basse Continue

Missa aulica. Par BRIXI FRANTISEK XAVER. Brixi came from a widespread family of Bohemian musicians which included composers whose works were well known among rural communities. The present edition of this short mass [known as the “Missa aulica”], which is published here for the first time, is a typical example of this type of music: scored for a small ensemble, which makes only modest demands of t…
