Gloria in G major
Warb CW E 4
"While the solos in earlier masses form an integral part of the structure of the entire work, Christian Bach made the solo sections independent in the sense of the Neopolitan school. The orchestra is occupied with longer preludes and rustling figures. In the eleven movements, Bach was able to unite the compositional techniques and expressivity of the Baroque with the beautiful sound of an Italian cantilena." From the forward by Traugott Fedtke.

Composer
Johann Christian Bach
| 1735-1782Johann Christian Bach (1735–1782), the youngest son of the Thomaskantor, developed his personal style principally during a long stay in Italy (1755–1762) – a period which saw a break with the musical world of his father and his elder brothers. His easily accessible and melodious compositions, which were to have a lasting influence on the young Mozart, are characterized by the noble elegance and cantabile qualities of Italian opera aria. Beside numerous stage works, most of which date from his years in London (1762–1782), J.C. Bach also wrote sacred vocal works, and instrumental music for almost all the ensembles commonly used in this time. Personal details

A few years ago I had the pleasure of singing the Missa Gloria in D by Johann Christian Bach. I then rehearsed the bass solo and later also transposed the alto solo and found it very attractive. Unfortunately, this mass has not yet been published, although it was found and transcribed in Einsiedeln Abbey at the time.
By chance, I then found the Mass in G and am studying the bass and alto solo again. Perhaps we will perform the whole mass with the choir from time to time.
It is a typical JCB mass with self-contained solo movements and a longer instrumental introduction. The whole is very fluid and cleanly composed. The level of difficulty is medium.
