Description:
Shining rays stream from the 'Messe de sainte Cécile'. At first people were dazzled, then bewitched, then overcome.' This is how the composer Camille Saint-Saëns described the impression made on him by what was probably Charles Gounod's best-known setting of the mass. The work, which was written in 1855 in honor of the patron saint of church music, soon became well-known beyond the borders of France and acquired a popularity like almost no other sacred composition. In the Messe de sainte Cécile, Gounod combines sublime simplicity with operatic-dramatic elements and a colorful, effective orchestration. First critical edition after the partially preserved autograph.
