Sacred
works occupy a large part
of Charles Gounod's
oeuvre. It was the Messe
solennelle en l'honneur
de Sainte Cecile that
established his fame as a
church composer. Its
melodic invention and
effective handling of the
orchestra reveal a close
proximity to opera. This
Urtext edition is based
not only on the original
print of 1856 but also on
copyists' manuscripts and
autograph sources.
Rounding off this
well-researched Urtext
edition are an
informative Introduction
and a detailed Critical
Commentary. The edition
is being published to
celebrate the 200th
anniversary of Gounod's
birth.
