Orchestral Concert Mass

In the Baroque period, the average person heard orchestral music mostly on special occasions, when a ruler or town council sponsored a festive concert mass. These events gave rise to a special musical form in the liturgical tradition, where mass texts were set to richly developed, large-scale compositions. This concert offers the rare chance to relive such a majestic and uplifting musical experience.
