Discover quickly the original version of this superb mass.
In his mass, Gounod renounces to set the Credo to music, which must be sung by the community itself.
The characteristic tendency of Gounod's declamatory style to adapt the motifs to the rhythm of the words and to keep the natural spoken rhythm by placing the recitation on a single note is revealed as early as the Kyrie; Gounod uses the same process at the beginning of the Gloria.

Discover the original version of la Messe brève aux chapelles (N°7) of Charles Gounod:

The Messe brève n° 7 was first published in a version for two equal voices in 1877, before appearing in 1890 with the subtitle Aux chapelles in the adaptation for soli, mixed four-part choir and organ.
In his mass, Gounod renounced to set to music the Credo, which was to be sung by the community itself.
The characteristic tendency of Gounod's declamatory style to adapt the motifs to the rhythm of the words and to keep the natural spoken rhythm by placing the recitation on a single note is revealed from the Kyrie; Gounod uses the same procedure at the beginning of the Gloria.

There are two versions of this work:

I. Original version for mixed choir and organ.
II. Version for choir and chamber orchestra (strings).
This version is suitable for groups who wish to put together a programme of works with a small chamber orchestra (or even string quartet - double bass ad libitum).

About Charles Gounod :

Charles Gounod is a 19th century French composer. He is known mainly for his operas and melodies, and to a lesser extent for his religious works.
Raised in a family of music lovers, Charles Gounod was taught by Halévy and Lesueur at the Paris Conservatoire.
He won the Prix de Rome in 1839, and lived at the Villa Medici where he studied religious music. In 1843, he became choirmaster and organist (church of the Missions Etrangères); he also took theology courses, but abandoned the idea of entering the orders shortly after the Second Republic.
At the end of his life, Gounod wrote only sacred music, including several masses and famous oratorios, Messe N° 6 aux Cathédrales and Mors et Vita (also published by Editions À Cœur Joie).
