Description

A remarkable work of sacred music, this composition is an extensive symphony organized according to the five sections of the Ordinary of the Catholic Mass. While it is too grand for typical liturgical use, it holds a place alongside Bach's Mass in B Minor as an extraordinary expression of both personal and universal faith. This edition is reproduced in its entirety and unaltered from the esteemed Breitkopf & Härtel publication. It includes a comprehensive list of instruments and vocal parts, as well as translations of the texts.
