Not illustrated. 1890 Excerpt: ...says he was aware of musicians who preferred it to any other of Cherubini's Masses. Still there are other grand Masses from the fertile pen of this musician. The one known as No. 7 in the key of E flat for full orchestra and voices, was composed by Cherubini in the year 1816. It served its purpose in the King's Chapel, till it was replaced in 1818 by the Mass in E (No. 8) for four voices with full orchestral accompaniment. In 1819 the Mass in G (No. 9) appeared.

This is one of the best of Cherubim's works, abounding as it does in points of interest both to the musician and amateur. "Mass in A, Coronation (No. 11), for three parts," is the description of this latter work as given in the catalogue of Cherubim's writings. All authorities justly place it high in the list of sacred compositions. Thus Girod in his Treatise De la Musique Religieuse terms. it, "the most beautiful of Cherubini's Masses/' The Kyrie he describes as simple and touching, well characterized, full of loving and confiding sentiments. "The Credo," continues the same authority, "is a creation so original that it would be fu...
