Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch Mass for 16 voices

Read and write feedback
Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch's Mass in 16 parts is remarkable for more than its unusual scoring. Inspired by the Italian church music style of Orazio Benevoli, it was composed in 1783 for the "Berliner Sing-Akademie", and revised by Fasch several times throughout his life in order to adapt the score to the vocal capabilities of his ensemble. The composer destroyed all earlier compositions, which probably contributed to the legendary fame which this mass has enjoyed since the 19th century. The mass was, however, only published in 1839 - around four decades after Fasch's death. The present edition is based on the version contained in the first printed edition. In addition to modern music notation, extensive performance materials (two choral scores, separate organ part) facilitate the rehearsal of this challenging work.

Reviews

Als „Work in progress” verstanden passte Fasch die Messe zeit seines Lebens den je aktuellen Möglichkeiten seines Ensembles an... Eine lohnenswerte Aufgabe für größere Chöre.
Kirchenmusik im Erzbistum Bamberg 12/2015

Das Werk blieb relativ unbekannt, weil man erst in unserer Zeit wieder Ensembles hat, die so etwas singen können. Sehr empfehlenswert für (semi)professionelle Ensembles.
Kirchenmusikalische Mitteilungen der Erzdiözese Freiburg 11/2015

Also, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen: Besorgen Sie sich die übersichtlich und sorgfältig edierte Partitur, zu der es zwei Chorpartituren und eine Orgelstimme als Aufführungsmaterial gibt.
Forum Kirchenmusik 3/2015

Die aktuelle Ausgabe ist auf der Höhe der aktuellen Forschung und gibt das einzige Werk, das Fasch als würdig für die Nachwelt erachtete, übersichtlich wieder.
Ulrich Barthel, Chorzeit, Februar 2015

...macht sicher Spaß und ist eine besondere Freude, wenn man die Chöre an verschiedenen Stellen postieren kann.
Kirchenmusik im Bistum Limburg 2/2015

The edition is (of course) beautifully printed, with two systems where the reduced number of parts allows on quite large pages (the book is approximately 10 x 13 inches in size), and Kelly provides a suitably simple continue realization.
