Masterpiece of sacred music structured around the 5 divisions of the Ordinary of the Catholic Mass. Too monumental for ordinary liturgical purposes but a work that stands with Bach's Mass in B Minor as a sublime vision of faith — both personal and universal. Reprinted complete and unabridged from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel edition. Translation of texts.

Dover has done it again!,
By Marc Williams (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missa Solemnis in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
Dover is a blessing for music students and music lovers alike! Their sturdy and inexpensive scores last and last and last. This one of the Beethoven 'Missa Solemnis' is no exception. I was happy to see such a great work available at such an inexpensive price. The majesty of Beethoven's masterpiece is now accessible to all at a very reasonable cost. Jump on it and get it!

Usefull for learning.,

This review is from: Missa Solemnis in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
As a student of conducting, I find this to be a very usefull score. Having the choir in original cleffs, as well as the orchestral transpositions and score ordering of the Romantic era are really good practices for full score reading, and instant transposition. I find that though there are no measure numbers or letter markings, getting that information does not take long. For the price, it is worth the extra effort to learn to read cleffs.

Good to have, hard to read,

This review is from: Missa Solemnis in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores) (Paperback)
I looked forward to getting this. Then I opened it and discovered that Beethoven had just opened us inkwell and let the splashes be the notes. Thw writing is challengingly dense and the choral parts are written in Alto and Tenor clef. Now, who reads Tenor clef these days? I even tried looking it up one day and couldn't find a basic scale. It is nice to see the workmanship that went into it and following Treble or Bass clef leave the reader breathless. My best recommendation to pair with this is Eugene Ormandy's recording from the 1960s with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the singers that I forgot the names of (how embarassing). Not a bad investment.
