Omschrijving

Amongst Beethoven’s sacred works are two settings of theMass. The Mass In C Major was completed and premiered in 1807 and has been unjustly described as a preliminary step towards the great Missa solemnis. Yet it is a self-contained and, for its time, distinctlymodernpiece of sacred music.

Beethoven specialist Barry Cooper has drawn on a rich body of sources to suggests practical solutions to the work’s musical and interpretative problems. His in-depth study ofthe sources convinced him to include a fully realised Organ part in the score, just as Beethoven envisioned it for the first printed edition. As stated in the original sources, the parts for the soloists and choir arenotated on joint staves to demonstrate that the soloists are also to sing the choral passages.
