Missa Solemnis Concert Tickets

Listen to a performance of the Solemn Mass with Missa Solemnis tickets. The Missa solemnis is an offshoot of the musical setting of the Mass Ordinary, which is typically festively scored, with extensive use of the Latin Mass, instead of the shortened for Missa brevis. When the term Missa solemnis is not accompanied by a composer’s name, it is generally understood that the version performed is the one composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Beethoven, who was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770, was one of the most important composers who lived and composed during the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era. His Missa solemnis in D Major, Op. 123 was composed in the years 1819 to 1822. Enjoy a classical mass with Missa Solemnis concert tickets. The debut performance of the mass was on April 7, 1824, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The mass is considered one of Beethoven’s masterworks and is, along with Mass in B minor, by Bach, considered the best and most significant Masse of the common practice period, or tonal system era.

The piece was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf of Austria, the archbishop of Olmutz, who was Beethoven’s friend and student, as well as his patron. Beethoven’s Missa solemnis consists of five movements, including the Kyrie, the Gloria, the Credo and Sanctus along with the Agnus Dei.
