Mass In E Flat (1890)

By H. H. A. Beach and Amy Marcy Cheney Beach

Book Overview

""Mass in E Flat"" is a musical composition written by American composer H. H. A. Beach in 1890. The composition is a choral work that features an orchestra and soloists. The piece is divided into five movements: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. The music is characterized by its use of traditional harmonies and melodies, with occasional flourishes of Romantic-era chromaticism. The text of the Mass is in Latin and follows the standard Catholic liturgical text. The piece was premiered in 1892 by the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston and was well received by audiences and critics alike. ""Mass in E Flat"" is considered one of Beach's most significant works and a notable example of American choral music from the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
