MISSA SOLEMNIS
MISSA SOLEMNIS
Friday 6th June, 7.30pm, Hall One
From 1819 to 1823, Beethoven was stirred by a new creative energy. Sketched over this fouryear period,
Sally Matthews on specially enlarged manuscript sheets, was the work Beethoven himself came to admire above all others: the Missa Solemnis. Using every means of musical imagery available, Beethoven set about demonstrating his supreme mastery of the orchestralchoral model in a musical glimpse of the heavenly. The results get their first performance by Northern Sinfonia Chorus in this not to be missed performance; their last ever under Thomas Zehetmair as Music Director.
