Kenneth Schermerhorn

Background: One of the greatest masterworks in the history of music, which makes considerable technical demands particularly of the soloists and the choir, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis was regarded by the composer as the summit of his artistic achievements.

It is a work of enormous proportions and extraordinary emotional and musical contrasts, alternating passages of tense drama with interludes of blissful serenity. The conflict of exuberance, anguish, faith and doubt is seemingly resolved only by the final petition of the Agnus Dei, Bitte um innern und äussern Frieden (Prayer for inner and outward peace), words that some have seen as a reflection of Beethoven’s own inner turmoil.
