Missa Salisburgensis

Album by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber & La Stagione Armonica & Sergio Balestracci

Missa Salisburgensis is a large-scale sacred composition (a Mass) by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, composed c. 1682. The work employs grand polychoral forces and instrumental elaboration typical of the high Baroque, using spatially separated choirs, intricate counterpoint and contrasting sonorities to create a richly textured liturgical setting that reflects Salzburg's ceremonial traditions and Biber's late-career focus on ornate sacred music.
