Mass in A-flat major, D 678 / "Deutsche Messe", D 872

Album by Franz Schubert & Wiener Sängerknaben & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment & Bruno Weil

The Mass in A-flat major, D.678 and the Deutsche Messe, D.872 are liturgical choral works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1819 and 1827 respectively. Musically they blend Schubert's lyrical melodies and warm harmonies with straightforward, hymn-like textures for choir and accompaniment, reflecting his aim to create accessible devotional music and signalling his engagement with vernacular liturgical practice late in his career.
First released: 1994
