Description:
Messe a capella op. 164
Kyrie
Gloria
Sanctus
Agnus dei
Kyrié en fa # mineur, op. 170
Mel Bonis' career resembles that of reserved, non-career-oriented artists whom music history tends to forget. Her experiences as a woman in French society in the period between
the Franco-Prussian War and the First World War and the irregular rhythm of her composing also played their part. Nevertheless, she remains a highly inspired composer
whose abilities were unanimously recognised by her contemporaries.
Thus the historical contribution of this edition is threefold: It offers music lovers and musicologists the opportunity to discover the sacred work of a late post-Romantic composer,
written in a rather unusual personal context, to expand our knowledge of women composers and, last but not least, to deepen our understanding of their means of expression.
