A more playful section where the clarinet line is very virtuosic leads to a long gently-unfolding melody in the ensemble that begins in the depths of the bass register and gradually gets much higher. Virtuosicclarinet lines interject against the accompaniment and both pursue their own course until culminating in a high impassioned melody for the clarinet coloured by fast-moving passage work in the higher registers of ensemble.

Tonalité : C-Dur -. Par ZECHNER JOHANN GEORG. Johann Georg Zechner is considered to be one of the most prolific Austrian composers of church music during the time of Maria Theresa. His ca. 250 surviving compositions, including works in practically all genre of church music, found a wide reception in many Austrian, Bohemian and Moravian monasteries and in pilgrimage churches. His Große Orgelsolomesse was probably composed in 1761 for the dedication of the organ in the monastery at Göttweig.

The organ plays solistically in all of themovements. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, Orgue Solo, 2 Clarinet
