SKU: CA.4068719

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).

ISBN 9790007210618. Text language: German/English.

Composed in 1727 for a eulogy and funeral oration for Electress Christiane Eberhardine in the Leipzig University church, the music for the funeral ode is well-known today above all through reconstructions of Bach's St Mark Passion, in which large parts of this cantata were probably re-used, but of which only the text survives. With the funeral ode we have one of Bach's strongest and most fascinating vocal compositions. Although Gottsched's text is associated with a particular occasion, it is distinguished in its literary quality from many secular cantatas and it is entirely appropriate to perform this impressive cantata in concerts. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3119800.

Messa delle Benedicenza. Composed by Michael Haydn. Edited by Josef Friedrich Doppelbauer. Sacred music of the Vienna classic. Missa Sti Dominici Mh 419 1000401. Sacred vocal music. Choral Score. Composed 1786. MH 419. 16 pages. Carus Verlag #CV 91.008/05. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.9100805).

ISBN 9790007113759. Key: C major. Language: Latin.

The masses of Johann Michael Haydn are masterworks in the church music repertoire and they were widely appreciated during his lifetime, as is proved by the many copies made of them. The Missa Sancti Dominici belongs, through its mooring with trumpets and drums, in the category of the missa solemnis. It also owes its tonal splendour partly to the richness of its compositional process, marked by sometimes rapid alternation between choral and solo passages. This is a richly rewarding, fascinating work for accomplished choirs to perform, not only at festive services. Score available separately - see item CA.9100800.
