Description
Beethoven's Mass in C was composed in 1807 to a commission from Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. Scored for four soloists, choir and orchestra, music from the Mass was first heard during Beethoven's famous marathon benefit concert (also including the premieres of the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies) in 1808.
