Talk:Mass (music)

Stub question

I cheerfully concede this is more elaborate than most stubs, but it is indeed a stub that needs work. Feel free to add to it. Perhaps a list of notable composers of Masses, similar to the list I put at requiem, might be appropriate. ---User:Ihcoyc

I think the section Form of the Mass should be moved to Ordinary of the Mass. I think that's a more appropriate place for the full text to appear. Also, I think Sanctus and Benedictus are usually considered to be one part, not two. Alcuin 03:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Placement of info

Is Rutter's Mass of the Children in the right place? It is in fact a missa brevis, as it has no credo section. ---User:Hesperus

Oh yes Hesperus you are correct..I agree with you 100%, that was such a delightful comment

Yes i'll second that agreement, no credo section is positively shocking, thank you for bringing that important comment to our attention Hesperus. No longer will I look at missa brevis's in the same light again.

I question the parenthesis of the filioque and thus am putting it fully into the text -- since Mass is a Western term, there is no reason to include the Eastern Orthodox caveat on the filioque.

Baroque to the present?

This is a huge period. Should we not split it up into subsections? Maybe Viennese Masses (Haydn & Co); Romantic/Operatic Masses (Gounod, Rheinberger et al.); 20th C Masses. Should a distiction be made between 'liturgical' masses and 'concert' masses? (Bach's Mass in B minor could never be used as part of the liturgy, for example)

Yes: it should be subdivided and expanded greatly, in my opinion. (I added a bunch to the pre-Baroque, but haven't edited the rest.) Thanks! Antandrus (talk) 20:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

A lot of this is already in the Ordinary of the Mass article; I think it belongs here.Sparafucil 05:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

History sections

I have added two sections concerning the history of the mass from Baroque through Romantic and 20th and 21st century in addition to the lists already in the article. Feel free to add or amend! Aprickel (talk) 01:39, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Aprickel
