From 1819 to 1823, Beethoven was stirred by a renewed creative energy. Sketched over this four-year period, on specially enlarged manuscript sheets, was the work Beethoven himself came to admire above all others: his Missa Solemnis. Using every means of musical imagery available to him, Beethoven set about demonstrating his supreme mastery of the orchestral-choral model, with no lesser aim than to instil a fervent religious faith in both his musicians and his audiences. The utmost composer of conviction seems in this work to surpass even himself in his musical glimpse of the heavenly.
