''Berliner Messe'' (or ''Berlin Mass'') is a mass setting by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Commissioned for the 90th Katholikentag in 1990,〔"Arvo Pärt: Berliner Messe", ''Universal Edition'', (accessed September 14, 2014) ().〕 it was originally scored for SATB soloists and organ. Pärt later revised the piece for chorus and string orchestra. Pärt uses his ''tintinnabuli'' technique throughout, with movements taking many forms within that style—flowing from quietly reverent duets between parts to full chorus proclamations of faith.〔Jeremy Grimshaw. "Berliner Messe, for SATB chorus or soloists & organ", ''AllMusic.com'', (accessed September 14, 2014) ().〕 ==Structure== The work consists of five movements of the Mass ordinary and three movements intended for the celebration of Pentecost: * Kyrie * Gloria * ''Erster Alleluiavers'' (First Alleluia) * ''Zweiter Alleluiavers'' (Second Alleluia) * Veni Sancte Spiritus * Credo * Sanctus * Agnus Dei The fact that the Mass was originally written for Pentecost is evidenced by the presence of the two Alleluias and the Veni Sancte Spiritus.〔Paul Hillier. "Arvo Pärt", ''Grove Music Online'', ed. L. Macy (accessed November 22, 2006), (subscription access).〕 However, Pärt has also set two Alleluia verses to permit the work to be used at Christmas. All five of these movements are marked "ad lib." in the score.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berliner Messe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
