Franz Schubert’s popular German Mass of 1827 follows in the footsteps of Michael Haydn’s work Deutsches Hochamt by turning to a German translation of the Ordinary mass. Its homophonic texture and largely syllabic setting of the words make it more accessible to lay choruses than Schubert’s masses in Latin an advantage reinforced by its diatonic melodic writing and constantly slow tempos.The present edition reproduces the Urtext from the New Schubert Edition and presents the definitive second version for chorus and wind instruments. Since the piano reduction basically follows the choral lines and Schubert’s original organ part however the Mass can also be performedwith organ accompaniment.- Urtext from the New Schubert Edition- Standard work in the church music repertoire- Can be accompanied by organ or wind instruments- No vocal soloists necessary

Immer ist Musik - auch solche, die aus modischen Grunden vorgibt, auf der Hohe ihrer Zeit zu stehen und um der Avanciertheit ihrer Mittel willen mit der Tradition brechen mochte - historisch bestimmt. Geschichtlichkeit ist ihr wesensmassig auf Grund des Gewachsenseins vom tonenden Material eingeschrieben. Geschichtlich ist sie auch hinsichtlich ihrer gesamten Erscheinung als Tonkunst innerhalb einer gewachsenen Gesellschaft. In dieser Sammlung von Aufsatzen geht es indessen weniger um die Geschichtlichkeit von Musik in diesem eher allgemeinen Sinn, als vielmehr um die Darlegung konkreter Ruckbeziehungen von zeitgenossischer Musik auf zwei Komponisten der Vergangenheit, die auf Grund ihrer Eigenheiten im kompositorischen Denken die Musik der achtziger Jahre nachhaltiger als viele andere beeinflusst haben. Reflektiert und gebrochen lebt die Musik von Franz Schubert und Gustav Mahler in der Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts fort, und der Leser wird bei Betrachtung der auf Schubert und Mahler ruckbezogenen Werke uber die Beiden mindestens ebensoviel erfahren wie uber diejenigen, die sich deren Musik aneignend angenahert haben.Die Beitrage sind aus der Hochschularbeit heraus entstanden und wollen in ihrer Disparatheit weniger ein komplettes System als vielmehr so etwas wie ein Beziehungsgeflecht dar- und herstellen.

Ensembles which are not large enough to tackle the great masses by Schubert will find a suitable alternative in this compact Mass of 1816, scored for small forces. In size and length (c. 25 minutes) it is like a Missa brevis. The compositional structure is comparatively simple, but without lacking any of the typically Schubertian style in harmony or melody. The wind parts added later by the composer can be regarded as optional, as the work was originally scored for just the south German-Austrian church trio of 2 violins and organ. This work is now available in carus music, the choir app! Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4065800.

With a total duration of about 30 minutes, Schubert's Mass in B flat major (D 324), written in 1815, is considerably longer than Mozart's and Haydn's classical Brevis masses, and its large instrumental ensemble with strings, woodwinds, brass and timpani even gives it a clearly solemn character. Overall, Schubert was inspired by the late Haydn style of the symphonic mass (e.g., the division into six large movements, the omission of arias for the vocal soloists who are instead juxtaposed with the choir, singing short passages either singly or as a group) without, of course, achieving its temporal expansion. This is a representative, musically appealing work that excels with its multi-layered, detailed text treatment. It is, therefore, suitable for special occasions and the high feasts of the church year and can be mastered well by experienced church choirs. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4065700.
