Beethoven: Missa Solemnis in D Major, Op. 123
MA
Opening this season’s offerings of major choral/
orchestral works is Beethoven’s grand statement
of belief, and claimed by himself to be his greatest
work. A complete performance of the Missa
Solemnis most likely did not occur in the composer’s
lifetime, but his setting of the sacred text,
inscribed “Vom Herzen, möge es wieder, zu Herzen
gehen! “ (Arising in the heart, may it return to
the heart!) lives on, a magnificent work filled with
humble adoration and affirmation of praise.
