Carl Maria von Weber - Missa Sancta No.1, Op.75a (1818)

[@harryandruschak2843]

I had not known that Weber wrote a mass. As a devout Catholic, I want to say thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[@Dente_superbo]

He wrote three masses: I. Missa sancta Nr. 1 In Es-dur - J 224. II. Missa sancta Nr. 2 In G-dur - J 251. III. "Eine grosse Messe" written between 1798-1800 - J Anh. 8 (lost).

Weber was catholic and devout too.

This is stunningly beautiful. I'm just imagining what it would be like to hear this in a cathedral and hear a soprano sing the part at 17:59. It's heavenly.

Luckily, I was part of a performance in a big cathedral in Munich, just three days ago. Heavenly is really the only fitting word. The offertorium, the sanctus-beginning you pointed out, the cello part in the benedictus, and all the rest. Just perfect and heavenly, especially in a big, high room. But the mass is not easy to sing for the choir and sadly very rarely performed.

A wonderful performance of this beautiful Missa Sancta No.1. The fact that it has elements of Freischütz 'woven' in, makes listening to it light and joyful for me, since I have been so fond of this Opera already as a child. Whether or not Carl Maria von Weber intended it to be listened to in such a way I don't know, but, If not, may I be forgiven . . . cause I enjoyed it tremendously! Thank you!

Me gusta la musica de weber.

[@Antuancinho]

Me recordó bastante la Missa Solemnis de Beethoven. Que gran obra, no la conocía. Hay mucha música de Weber que es poco interpretada.

Wait what, there's an offertory to this piece?

16:46 best part of this song

[@Baton793]

Anyone else notices a similarity between the beginning of Sanctus and Holst's Saturn?

25:46 Bass ?

Why does Schubert come to my mind while hearing this missa by Weber?.
