Carus-Verlag
is now publishing this
early work by Camille
Saint-Saens in a critical
new edition. Among the
sacred works by
Saint-Saens there are
just two settings of the
mass: the Messe de
Requiem op. 54 from his
middle period (1878), and
the Mass op. 4 dating
from 1856. This was first
performed on 21 April
1857. Camille Saint-Saens
was a devoted follower of
historicism as part of
the reform movement in
French church music. This
is more evident in the
mass published here than
anywhere else. The model
for this work is the
unison Messe Royale by
Henry DuMont (1610-1683).
Saint-Saens combined its
Gregorian style in a
convincing manner with
contemporary elements of
Romantic composition, an
expressive chromaticism,
which determines the
harmonic progression.
Alongside the orchestral
forces, the Grand Orgue
plays an important role.
Used as a solo
instrument, it is an
equal partner in the
composition. Score and
part available separately
