''Messe solennelle'' is a setting of the Catholic Solemn Mass by the French composer Hector Berlioz. It was written in 1824, when the composer was twenty, and first performed at the Church of Saint-Roch in Paris on 10 July 1825, and again at the Church of Saint-Eustache in 1827. After this, Berlioz claimed to have destroyed the entire score, except for the "Resurrexit", but in 1991 a Belgian schoolteacher, Frans Moors, came across a copy of the work in an organ gallery in Antwerp, and it has since been revived. Those familiar with Berlioz's ''Requiem'' and ''Symphonie fantastique'' will recognize elements of each of those compositions in the ''Messe solennelle'', although somewhat altered. Likewise, themes from the ''Messe solennelle'' occur in the first half of his opera ''Benvenuto Cellini''. ==Forces and structure== Scored for soprano, tenor, (prominent) bass, mixed chorus, and large orchestra, its movements are: *Kyrie *Gloria *Gratias *Quoniam *Credo *Incarnatus *Crucifixus *Resurrexit *Motet pour l'Offertoire *Sanctus *O salutaris hostia *Agnus Dei *Domine salvum fac 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「Messe solennelle (Berlioz)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
