	Mass: Missa Solemnis - Ludwig van Beethoven - Dominique PRÉVOT
		While Beethoven's primary purpose in composing the Missa Solemnis was for performance as the mass for a particular religious event, he also believed that it could and should be performed outside of a church setting.
		The religious significance of the Missa Solemnis is an issue of great importance as Beethoven's spiritual beliefs were somewhat unclear despite his Catholic upbringing.
		Missa Solemnis was a turning point in Beethoven's life as he used the piece to give definition to his religious/spiritual beliefs and to "come to terms with god" during a time of spiritual crisis.

	The Hong Kong Bach Choir - Missa Solemnis
		The Missa solemnis was planned originally as a tribute to his friend and patron Archduke Rudolf of Austria, a son of the Emperor, on the occasion of Rudolf's elevation to the rank of Cardinal-Archbishop of Olmütz in Moravia.
		Beethoven's use of a traditional text as the foundation for an exploration of new directions is akin to Renaissance painters' use of common Biblical themes as the basis for arrangements of colors, shapes, textures and proportions.
		The true heart of Beethoven's Missa solemnis is the Sanctus, a mostly slow movement whose subtle contrast between tempos - Adagio (Sanctus) and Andante (Benedictus) - is reminiscent of the alternating tempos in the equivalent movement of the Ninth Symphony.

		The Missa Solemnis comes from later in Beethoven's life, a much more difficult time which also brought forth the Ninth Symphony and the final String Quartets.
		The Missa Solemnis is based very faithfully on the traditional Catholic Mass (see the full text here), the five main sections Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei subdivided into smaller sections.
		Audiences by now had probably warmed to Beethoven's unconventional style and the Missa Solemnis was and is seen as one of Beethoven's greatest works.

		Gardiner seems to see the Missa Solemnis as an oportunity to show off with razzle-dazzle, fireworks-type playing, at least up until the Sanctus, and frankly, even though his tempi are very swift (as always), it gets dull after a while.

		According to sketches and letters, Beethoven began his preliminary work on the Missa Solemnis in the beginning of 1819.
		This seems contradictory to the date of the announcement of the Archduke elevation to cardinal and then Archbishop, but scholars attest that it is highly probable that news of the approaching appointment was known months ahead of the official notification.
		As with most compositions written over the course of many years, the character of the Missa Solemnis changed from the beginning to the end.

	Beethoven speaks through CSO with 'Missa solemnis'
		Composed in the decade after Beethoven's final, 1814 revision of "Fidelio,'' the "Missa solemnis'' continues the composer's epic struggle to use music to express his most profound notions of brotherhood, faith and transcendent love.
		No such problems plague the "Missa solemnis.'' It isn't burdened by the need to keep a story line moving or an audience engaged by memorable scenery or acting.
		The "Missa solemnis'' is pure music, Beethoven at his most unfettered and, therefore, most emphatic.

		Certainly the performance of the Missa Solemnis gained in intensity and effect in the context of the conference, from the powerful choral entry with which the dynamic 'Kyrie' sprang into life, to the final chords of the 'Agnus Dei'.

		In 1998, just before leading the National Symphony Orchestra and the Cathedral Choral Society in what turned out to be his final performance of Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis," the late conductor Robert Shaw offered some thoughts on this work he loved so well.
		That said (and the magnificently blurry acoustics of the cathedral easily forgiven), this was an urgent, heartfelt and often profoundly moving performance, one fully worthy of the day.
		The late composer and critic Virgil Thomson was never able to warm to the "Missa" and famously called it "too high and too loud too much of the time." There can be no doubt that the stratospheric challenges Beethoven throws out for his singers can be overwhelming for both performer and listener.

	Beethoven Missa Solemnis / Bruno Walter/NYP
		Bruno Walter called the Missa Solemnis Beethoven’s “masterwork among masterworks [that] spoke to me at once as with a prophet’s voice.” That was at age 15, yet he didn’t conduct it until his Munich tenure (1913-22) following the Vienna years with Mahler – sometime, that is, between ages 37 and 44.
		In all of the years after Munich, he led only three performances of the Missa in mid-April of 1948, of which this performance was the last of the series, whose solo quartet included a “Mr.
		Apropos of that performance, Toscanini came to the Missa even later than Walter – for the first time in 1934 and again in 1935 with the NYPSO, then in 1936 with the Vienna Phil and twice with the BBCSO in 1939.

	Beethoven - Missa Solemnis: LSO @ Barbican Hall, London : concert review
		Four years' work went into the composition of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, and you can really tell — it's his most intricate piece, and one of the most complicated works by any composer to perform.
		The complexity of the fugues, the frequent counterpoint between the quartet of soloists, the choir and the different sections of the orchestra, and the sheer length of the piece — over an hour and a half — make it a huge challenge to perform.
		The Missa is almost on the margins of the repertoire because most orchestras back off the challenge of performing it.

	BEETHOVEN: Missa Solemnis (NTSC) recommended cd collection, cd review and cd details.
		With his Missa solemnis the composer broke with all conventions for the composition of a mass, creating a work that went well beyond the normal framework of the liturgy.
		His treatment and interpretation of the text creates the impression of a coherent set of events, and as such the work distances itself from normal liturgical procedures, becoming instead the main focus of interest.
		Conductor Sir Gilbert Levine has a special link with the Catholic Church and the Pope, having conducted the legendary holocaust memorial concert for Pope John Paul II and having subsequently supported him in his untiring efforts to achieve better relations between the world¡¦s religions.
