Шаблон:About Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Infobox musical composition
The Шаблон:Lang (German Mass), Шаблон:D. 872, is a hymn-cycle by Franz Schubert written in 1827. Neither a Mass nor strictly speaking German, it was published in Vienna as what it is: Шаблон:Lang (Hymns for the Celebration of the Holy Offering of Mass). It sets a sequence of eight non-liturgical German poems by Johann Philipp Neumann, who commissioned Schubert's music, one or more of which could be used separately during Mass. A ninth hymn, given as an appendix, treats the Lord's Prayer, bringing the length to about 35 minutes when the music is performed, as it often now is, as one big concert work.
The cycle's original scoring was plain: SATB choir with organ accompaniment. Decades after Schubert died, a grander edition was published: SATB choir, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani and basso continuo. Besides the now standard misnomer Deutsche Messe, the cycle is also sometimes called the Wind Mass due to the preponderance of wind instruments in this just-listed orchestration.Шаблон:Sfn
Background
The Шаблон:Lang stems from a tradition of low masses, settings of religious texts in vernacular languages in Austria and southern Germany.Шаблон:Sfn It was commissioned by Johann Philipp Neumann, who was interested in simple music designed to appeal to "the widest possible congregation".Шаблон:Sfn Neumann wrote the German hymns, which Schubert scored in a block-chordal, homophonic style, suitable for congregational singing.Шаблон:Sfn Schubert commenced the work in December 1826, completing and publishing it in 1827.Шаблон:Sfn Neumann had previously written the libretto for Schubert's unfinished opera, Shakuntala.
Schubert intended it for usage in Catholic church service.Шаблон:Sfn However, censorship prevented this from taking place; it was not approved for liturgical use.Шаблон:Sfn The work has since gained popularity, and has been translated into other languages.Шаблон:Sfn Richard Proulx arranged a version in English.Шаблон:Sfn
Structure
The work contains nine movements, including eight hymns and an appendix. Most of the work is set in a moderate (Шаблон:Lang) to slow (Шаблон:Lang) tempo, reflecting the solemnity of the service as well as consideration of church acoustics.Шаблон:Sfn
Each of the hymns has a Latin counterpart in the Order of Mass. Performance time is approximately 40 minutes, if performed as a cycle with all the verses.Шаблон:Sfn
