Anton Bruckner was a devoutly religious man, and composed numerous sacred works. Among these religious works, he composed seven masses, two requiem, and sketched two other masses and another requiem. The three early masses, composed between 1842 and 1844 during Bruckner's stay in Windhaag and Kronstorf, were short Austrian ''Landmessen'' for use in local churches. The lost Requiem for men's choir and organ, composed in 1845, the Requiem in D minor, composed in 1849, and the ''Missa solemnis'', composed in 1854, were composed during Bruckner's stay in Sankt Florian. The three masses, Mass No. 1 in D minor, Mass No. 2 in E minor and Mass No. 3 in F minor, which Bruckner composed after his eight-year study period by Sechter and Kitzler, are the most advanced and elaborate of these compositions. == Windhaag and Kronstorf == Between 3 October 1841 and 23 September 1845, during his stay as schoolteacher's assistant in Windhaag and Kronstorf, Bruckner composed three ''Landmessen'', the ''Windhaager Messe'', the ''Kronstorfer Messe'' and the ''Messe für den Gründonnerstag''. These masses were intentionally simple, because they were intended for the meagre resources of the local village churches.〔J. Williamson, p. 43〕 *The ''Windhaager Messe'' in C major (WAB 25) is a ''Choral-Messe'' for alto soloist, two horns and organ, which Bruckner composed in 1842 during his stay in Windhaag. *The ''Kronstorfer Messe'' (WAB 146) in D minor is a ''Missa brevis'' for mixed choir ''a cappella'', which Bruckner composed in 1843-1844 during his next stay in Kronstorf. *The ''Messe für den Gründonnerstag'' (WAB 9) in F major is another ''Missa brevis'' for mixed choir ''a cappella'', which Bruckner composed in 1844 during his stay in Kronstorf. The extra Kyrie and Gloria, composed in 1845, are lost.〔U. Harten, p. 245〕〔C. Van Zwol, p. 700〕 During this period () Bruckner also composed a 17-bar sketch for the ''Kyrie'' in G minor of a ''Missa pro Quadragesima'' (Mass for Lent) for mixed choir, three trombones and organ (WAB 140).〔R. Haas, p. 42〕〔C. van Zwol, p. 710〕〔U. Harten, p. 288〕 Theses compositions are put in Band XXI of the ''ドイツ語:Gesamtausgabe''.〔(Gesamtausgabe - Kleine Kirchenmusikwerke )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Masses (Bruckner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
