Portions of this stunning setting of the Mass are already well-known. Using the previously composed Kyrie, Festival Sanctus and Agnus Dei as pivotal points, John's powerful settings of the Gloria and Credo round out the Mass setting with strength and dignity. A wonderful addition to any school or church library. Perform with piano accompaniment or chamber orchestra.
Gretchaninov started his musical studies rather late because his father, a businessman, had expected him to take over the family firm. Gretchaninov began his studies at the Moscow Conservatory in 1881, later moving to St. Petersburg where he studied composition and orchestration with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov until 1893. It is not surprising that Rimsky's influence can be heard in Gretchaninov’s early works. The Missa Festiva was not written until 1937. This is the choral score of the work, with Latin text, and without notated accompaniment.
