Messe As-Dur D678

Album by Franz Schubert & Kammerchor Stuttgart & Hofkapelle Stuttgart & Johanna Winkel & Elvira Bill & Florian Sievers & Arttu Kataja & Frieder Bernius

Messe As-Dur, D.678 is a mass by Franz Schubert, composed in 1819. The work is a substantial sacred choral composition in A-flat major that blends Classical formal clarity with emerging Romantic harmonic colours, featuring expansive choral writing, prominent solo lines and varied orchestral textures, and it occupies a position in Schubert's oeuvre as one of his mature liturgical works that points towards his later larger-scale compositions.
