Coronation
Mass |
| Before the monumental B minor Mass of his later years,
Bach had previously written four settings of the shorter
Lutheran Mass, highly attractive works full of wonderful
music. Haydn’s concise and splendid Te Deum shows
him at his most positive and joyful. Vivaldi composed
over 400 concertos; Op3 No11 features a solo group of
two violins and cello. Mozart’s bright and optimistic
Coronation Mass is one of his most popular choral works,
and a cornucopia of different styles. |

| Beethoven |
Missa
Solemnis |
| Originally intended to adorn the enthronement of an
Archbishop, but not completed in time for the ceremony,
this greatest of Beethoven’s choral works was written
during the same period as the Ninth Symphony. It is both
a monument to faith and an expression of triumph over
personal hardships which increasingly affected him at
this time. Ranging over a gamut of moods and feelings,
it is by turns philosophical, dramatic, colourful and
profoundly beautiful. |

| Dvorak |
Mass
in D |
| Durufle |
Requiem |
| Dvorák, an early supporter of Czech nationalism, set out
in this heartfelt work to express his delight in the gentle
beauty of the Bohemian countryside. Duruflé’s sublime
masterpiece developed from a projected series of organ
meditations on the traditional plainsong melodies of
the Requiem Mass; although similar in shape to Fauré’s
famous setting, its musical language is highly original
and richly expressive. Both works are given in their
original versions with organ accompaniment. |
