In addition to the Requiem, the Missa Dalmatica, which was first composed in 1835 and revised in 1876, offers further proof of the remarkable sacred music composed by the famous composer of operettas, Franz von Suppe. He dedicated the Mass to his Dalmatian homeland. In this Mass for three-voiced men's choir and organ, which in his unmistakable personal style combined the most varied influences of the tradition of church music, Italian and German opera, as well as the folk idioms of Vienna and Dalmatia, Suppe created an attractive and unique work which has earned a special place in the history of 19th century church music. Score available separately - see item CA.4083200.

Each of the five connected movements in this choral cycle contains references to 'Light,' assembled from various sacred Latin texts. I composed Lux Aeterna in response to my mother's final illness and found great personal comfortand solace in setting to music these timeless and wondrous words about Light, a universal symbol of illumination at all levels - spiritual, artistic and intellectual. The work opens and closes with the beginning and ending of theRequiem Mass, with the central three movements drawn respectively from the Te Deum, O Nata Lux and Veni, Sancte Spiritus. The opening Introitus introduces several themes that recur later in the work and includes an extended canonon et lux perpetua. In Te, Domine, Speravi contains, among other musical elements, the cantus firmus Herzliebster Jesu (from the Nuremburg Songbook, 1677) and a lengthy inverted canon on fiat misericordia. O Nata Lux and Veni,Sancte Spiritus are paired songs, the former an a cappella motet at the center of the work and the latter a spirited, jubilant canticle. A quiet setting of the Agnus Dei precedes the final Lux Aeterna, which reprises the openingsection of the Introitus and concludes with a joyful celebratory Alleluia. --Morten Lauridsen.
