description Mass (Stravinsky) Overview
Igor Stravinsky's Mass is a setting of the Latin Mass Ordinary composed between 1944 and 1948 for mixed chorus and a double wind quintet of oboes, English horn, bassoons, trumpets, and trombones. Written for liturgical use, it comprises the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Its restrained sonorities, syllabic declamation, and austere contrapuntal writing reflect Stravinsky's neoclassical period while evoking older European sacred music.
