Composed by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. Arranged by Andreas Grasle. Gattungen vokal: Sacred vocal music. Full Score. Composed ca. 1694. H 9. Duration 25 minutes. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2102945). ISBN 9790007262013. Latin. Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Christmas mass, the Messe de Minuit, stands fully in the French tradition of celebrating the happy message of Christ's birth with exuberant cheerfulness. Composed around 1694, this midnight mass incorporates ten old French Christmas carols, giving it both a dance-like swing and special tonal colors. For this edition Andreas Grasle has transcribed the orchestral writing for organ. His distribution of the parts between manuals and pedals allows the distinctive tonal and dynamic gradations of the work to be transferred to the organ in an ideal way. So this version with reduced scoring offers a delightful alternative to the original version. The vocal parts (for soloists and choir) are identical with the edition of the original version, so that the vocal score and chorus score of that version can be used.
Also available in the original scoring (Carus 21.029/00).
