Description:
The Mass in A major (op. 12) by César Franck is an outstanding example of 19th century French sacred music. Composed in 1860, the work is characterized by its lyrical elegance and unusual instrumentation for the time, which originally only included organ, harp and violoncello in addition to the vocal parts.
The mass gained worldwide fame primarily through the movement "Panis Angelicus", which Franck added later in 1872. This piece has established itself as one of the most frequently performed sacred songs in the world. The entire composition combines the strict traditions of church music with late Romantic harmony and demonstrates Franck's mastery in creating intimate, meditative soundscapes.
