Missa Brevis (Britten) (original) (raw)
The Missa Brevis in D, Op. 63, is a setting of the Latin mass completed by Benjamin Britten on Trinity Sunday, 1959. Set for three-part treble choir and organ, it was first performed at London's Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral on 22 July of the same year. Britten composed the mass for George Malcolm's retirement as organist and choirmaster at Westminster: the printed dedication reads "For George Malcolm and the boys of Westminster Cathedral Choir". It remained Britten's setting of the mass. Malcolm's live recording, from a service at the cathedral, lasts ten minutes.

Het werk is geschreven voor koorleider en organist George Malcolm. Hij was jarenlang leider van het koor van Westminster Cathedral, maar ging rond 1959 met pensioen. Voor de combinatie driestemmig jongenskoor met drie solostemmen en orgel schreef Benjamin naar eigen zeggen in één dag deze mis. Britten hield daarbij de klassieke indeling aan, waarbij hij de “delen” Sanctus en Benedictus aan elkaar koppelde. De indeling zag er als volgt uit: 1. * Kyrie (gespeeld in D majeur en fis mineur) 2. * Gloria (gespeeld in F majeur tegenover D majeur/fis mineur) 3. * Sanctus – Benedictus (D lydisch tegenover F en Fis majeur, later G majeur en C majeur 4. * Agnus Dei (in d mineur) Malcolm gaf op 22 juli 1959 de eerste uitvoering van deze tien minuten durende mis met zijn Westminster Choir. (nl) La Missa brevis in re maggiore, Op. 63, è un adattamento della Messa, completata da Benjamin Britten per la domenica della SS. Trinità, 1959. (it) |
