The Mass in E flat major is the last of Schubert’s six settings of the Ordinarium Missae and it is also his most significant work in this form. It is full of varied dramatic gestures and fervent expression and because of some essential omissions of text, it was described by some contemporaries as “unsuitable for liturgical use”.
For the editions of the "great" Schubert Masses the editors have once again thoroughly and subtly reexamined the source material. This has resulted in historical-critical Urtext editons which differ from previous editions in many passages: these are major differences but many obvious details, especially dynamic and articulation are corrected (which has been a trouble spot in the Schubert Edition). The scholarly editions present the musical text in a manner which furthers historically informed performance practice.
Thanks to an arrangement by J. Linckelmann (Carus 40.660/50), it is possible to perform the work in smaller settings.

Composer
Franz Schubert
| 1797-1828Throughout most of his life Franz Schubert was concerned with church music. When he was eleven he was chosen as treble soloist at his local church in the Vienna suburb of Lichtenthal and soon afterwards he was admitted to the choir of the Imperial Court Chapel, directed by Antonio Salieri. Soon he also began to compose; his earliest surviving sacred pieces date from 1812. During his lifetime his church music achieved a comparatively wide degree of acceptance but after his death, most notably, his smaller works were unjustly forgotten. The Carus programme encompasses Schubert’s complete sacred compositions and it is intended to emphasize the wide range of his works in this area. Many of the smaller liturgical compositions are published here for the first time in separate editions. What is to be discovered is a fascinating œuvre, rooted in the ‘stile antico’ of Antonio Salieri and in the compositions of the Viennese classical masters, but whose exquisite lyricism and harmonic subtlety reveal a typically Schubertian world of expression: works with great power of conviction and exceptional musical beauty.

Franz Schubert: Messe in Es-Dur D 950
Franz Schubert: Messe in Es-Dur D 950
In seinem Todesjahr erhielt Schubert den Auftrag, eine große Messe (samt „Intende voci” D 963, „Tantum ergo” in Es D 962 und „Hymnus an den heiligen Geist” D 948) für den damals im Aufbau befindlichen Verein zur Pflege der Kirchenmusik der Kirchengemeinde Wien-Alsergrund zu schreiben. Erst ein Jahr nach seinem Tod erlebte sie in der dortigen Kirche ihre Uraufführung unter Schuberts Bruder Ferdinand. Einerseits gab es bald danach Stimmen, die sie vor allem wegen ihrer Länge, aber auch wegen ihres düsteren Stils, der eher zu einem Requiem passe, ablehnten; andererseits umgab sie sehr früh ein Nimbus des Geheimnisvollen - der Umstand, dass Schubert einige Monate nach Fertigstellung der Messe starb, ließe viele meinen, die Messe sei von Todessehnsucht und Todesahnung erfüllt. Jedenfalls erfolgte die erste Drucklegung auf Initiative von Johannes Brahms, der auch den Klavierauszug erstellte, erst 1865. Die Partitur, in Leinen gebunden, zeichnet sich durch übersichtlichen, großen Druck aus und ist sehr sorgfältig, nach heute allgemein anerkannten Editionsgrundsätzen erstellt wobei ein ausführlicher Kritischer Bericht über abweichende Lesarten und die Quellenlage informiert. Ebenso sorgfältig ist der Klavierauszug, für den Paul Horn verantwortlich zeichnet, erstellt. Der zweisystemige Klavierpart enthält die wesentlichen Instrumentierungsangaben sowie für alle Singstimmen ein eigenes Liniensystem, so dass er in der Praxis sowohl für Chorsänger und Solisten als auch für die Korrepetition bestens einsetzbar ist.
