Charles Gounod

Missa brevis

With this sensitively arranged version of the "Missa brevis", renowned publisher Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag presents a magnificent work of sacred choral music. The practical scoring for three-part mixed choir (SAB) and strings—with optional organ accompaniment—lends the mass a warm, rich tonal color while making it especially accessible for ensembles with fewer male voices. Whether performed in a festive church service or an atmospheric concert, the harmonious dialogue between transparent choral textures and expressive string writing captivates performers and audiences alike. This full score is the ideal conducting and study edition for a successful performance. (Please note: Single copies of the score feature copy protection, which is waived when purchasing choral scores in choir quantity or the complete orchestral performance material.)
