The Missa Solemnis is a document of extraordinary richness from the
last decades of Beethoven's creative life. In this compendious and
accessible guide, William Drabkin considers the work as a musical
expression of the most celebrated text of the Roman Catholic faith
and as an example from a tradition of Mass settings in eighteenth
and early nineteenth-century Austria. The opening chapters present
various critical perspectives on the Missa Solemnis and chart the
history of its composition, first performances and publication.
But, above all, the work itself is considered in detail, including
the overall design, connections between the movements, the
orchestration, word painting and programmatic elements.
