Shining rays
stream from the 'Messe de
sainte Cecile'. At first
people were dazzled, then
bewitched, then overcome.
This is how the composer
Camille Saint-Saens
described his impression
of what was probably
Charles Gounod's
best-known setting of the
mass. The work written in
1855 in honor of the
patron saint of church
music, soon became
well-known beyond the
borders of France and
acquired a degree of
popularity like almost no
other sacred composition.
In the Messe de sainte
Cecile, Gounod combines
sublime simplicity with
operatic-dramatic
elements and a colorful,
effective orchestration.
