Franz Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major: A work that time and again occupied the composer anew, with which he, in his words, strived towards the “highest in art” – and perhaps only wished to receive a court appointment in Vienna. His efforts to present a new, individual mass led, at any rate, to unconventional solutions (and an unusual key), a renunciation of plain acclamation, a reduction of pathos in favor of an exceptionally elaborate composition, particularly the first part – a brilliant missa solemnis for the ceremonious organization of the court church service and, at the same time, the public presentation of an ambitious composer’s artistic competence.
This, Schubert's second version of the A flat Mass, also contains in the appendix the first version of the 'Cum Sancto Spiritu' fugue as well as a variant of the 'Osanna.' Scoring: Soli SATB, Coro SATB, Fl, 2 Ob, 2 Clt, 2 Fg, 2 Cor, 2 Tr, 3 Trb, Timp, 2 Vl, Va, Vc, Cb, Org.
Language: Latin. Duration: 50 min.
