arrangement; originally for orchestra. In its original version this work for soli, choir, organ and orchestra became known as Gounod’s most well known setting of the Mass both in France and beyond its borders and it was considered the representative contribution to French church music of the 19th century. Already during his lifetime several (some anonymous) arrangements for smaller ensembles were made, including the present version for two equal voices. The four-voiced vocal part from the full score was reduced to a version for two voices, while the organ or piano accompaniment of the original vocal score was, for the most part, retained.

Additional product information
  • Charles Gounod is known today especially as the composer of the operas Faust (1859) and Roméo et Juliette (1867), and of the very popular Méditation sur le 1er prélude de piano de J. S. Bach (1852), arranged in 1859 as an Ave Maria. The fact that Gounod is regarded primarily as an important opera composer does not do justice to his extensive œuvre, which encompasses all genres. His creative output is dominated by his church music, which overshadows that of all other 19th-century composers. Personal details

Gounod, Charles: Messe Sainte Cécile

... Das ... Werk verlangte in der Urfassung drei Vokalsolisten (STB), einen vierstimmigen Chor (SSTB – ohne eigentliche Altstimme, wie für die französische Vokalmusik der Zeit typisch) sowie ein opulent besetztes Orchester mit Orgel. Aufgrund ihrer Popularität entstanden - noch zu Lebzeiten des Komponisten - mehrere Bearbeitungen der Messe für veränderte Besetzungen, so auch die vorliegende „Réduction à deux voix égales – Soli et Choeurs” (Sopran und Altstimmen). Einige kürzere Sätze wie „Invocation - Offertoire pour orgue seul” oder „Domine Salvuml” fanden in dieser Bearbeitung keine Aufnahme mehr...
