Luigi Cherubini’s Messe solennelle in D minor is certainly one of the longest settings of the Mass Ordinary ever composed: the Gloria alone runs to almost 900 measures. After a familiar-sounding opening, the melodic lines and harmonic developments constantly take the listener in new directions with unexpected, imaginative, and ingenious turns.
Yet what seems effortless in the concert hall presents real challenges for the choir: a great deal of practice is required to achieve precise synchrony while mastering the harmonic richness and continual chordal shifts. Every voice must be absolutely secure to allow this impressive work to unfold its full brilliance.
Simply practice. Anytime. Everywhere.
