Missa St. Crucis (Rheinberger)
The Missa St. Crucis (op. 151) in G major is a mass setting for four-part mixed choir ( SATB ) a capella by Josef Rheinberger .
Rheinberger composed it in September 1882 while on vacation in Wildbad Kreuth . The name St. Crucis probably comes from the fact that he first performed the mass in the Holy Week of 1883 in the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche in Munich. The first edition was published in 1888 by FEC Leuckart Verlag in Leipzig .
construction
A full performance takes about 17 minutes. The sentence sequence is:
- Kyrie (G major) Poco adagio
- Gloria (G major) Con moto
- Credo (G minor) Moderato
- Sanctus (G major) Adagio
- Benedictus (E flat major) Andante
- Agnus Dei (G major) Andante
The text largely follows the ordinarium , but the Credo lacks the word Dominum after the words Et in Spiritum Sanctum . In the Gloria and in the Credo the first words are not composed.
