About Bruckner's Mass in E minor
Voices enter gently; long arching phrases unfurl.
Here there is a sense of patience, with harmonies that seem to breathe and expand naturally.
The music avoids overt drama. Instead, its power comes from sincerity and depth of feeling.
The first movement of Anton Bruckner’s Mass in E minor is one of the composer’s most inward and atmospheric creations.
Here is a mass that is not like his other ones – those are symphonic works – whereas the Mass in E minor is scored for the unusual combination of 8-part choir and a 15-piece wind and brass ensemble, no strings. Though the complexity and grandeur remain, this piece is influenced by both Renaissance polyphony and Wagner – quite the inventive feat. It works though, moving seamlessly between moments of intimate prayer and majestic affirmation.
From this, the MSO Chorus weaves a powerful spiritual journey, one that culminates in a plea for peace and an invitation to reflect, revere and rest.
