Zweite Caecilienmesse

The "Zweite Caecilienmesse" (Second St. Cecilia Mass), published by the renowned Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag, is a resonant and festive choral work that brings joy to choirs and congregations alike. Specially designed for the popular three-part scoring (SAB: soprano, alto, baritone) with organ accompaniment, this mass is ideal for ensembles seeking to achieve a rich, warm choral sound with a smaller men's section. The harmonious combination of lyrical vocal lines and a magnificent organ part gives the work a solemn dignity that is particularly captivating for patronal feasts, St. Cecilia celebrations, and regular liturgical or concert performances. This practical choral score ensures effective rehearsing and allows the praise of sacred music to shine brightly—a wonderful addition to any sacred choral repertoire!
