Mass No. 4 (Schubert)
The Mass No. 4 in C major D 452 is a mass setting for solos, choir and orchestra by Franz Schubert from 1816.
The first performance of the mass is likely to have taken place in the Lichtental parish church at the end of 1816 and Schubert's childhood sweetheart Therese Grob sang the soprano solo. Another performance during the composer's lifetime is documented shortly after the publication of the parts for the late summer of 1825, which Ignaz Franz Castelli reported to Dresden:
“In the parish church of St. Ulrich on the so-called Platzl, a new Missa solemnis by the composition of our popular song composer Schubert was performed for the feast of the birth of Mary and has provided the proof that the young man also had great knowledge of the strict church sentence. Inner content and effect are important. "
