Composed by Robert Schumann. Edited by Hansjörg Ewert. Set of Orchestra Parts. Composed 1852. Op. 147. Duration 40 minutes. Carus Verlag #4068719. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4068719).

ISBN 9790007311384. Key: C minor. Latin.

A mass setting by Robert Schumann? This is still likely to cause surprise among audiences – after all, Schumann is not generally viewed as a sacred composer. Indeed, his little-known late work, the Missa sacra, Op. 147, is a discovery not just for listeners but often for the performers themselves. The mass combines an acute fascination with sacred liturgy typical of Schumann’s time with the pragmatism of its intended use by a local choral society. The composer employs his considerable skills to create a captivating and varied score that is almost ethereal in the Kyrie, leading to passages of an intimate and lyrical piano that alternate with fortissimo for words of praise, while always displaying the utmost sensitivity and a delight in dissonance. The composer declared his setting to be “fashioned with great love”.
The demanding orchestral mass can be realized with limited means. The solo parts can be filled from the choir. The work, which the composer himself did not have published, is here reissued on the basis of Schumann’s partial autograph score.
Carus has also produced an arrangement of the work for choir and organ, enabling performances without orchestra in smaller venues (Carus 40.687/45).

Best-known as an internationally sought-after pianist, Thomas Larcher has presented an impressive series of CDs on the renowned label ECM New Series. But he has become increasingly successful as a composer as well.About his piano piece 'Naunz' recorded by ECM he writes:'The name refers to an Alpine region in Tyrol which, to me, has always been a place of refuge and of experiencing nature. But it also leaves room for onomatopoeic associations. The piece even listens to the sounds, and it was composed in a phase when I began to occupy myself with tonality again.'.
