Description

A mass is a musical setting of the Catholic liturgy, typically featuring the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei texts. This sacred form has been composed across centuries, from medieval chant through Renaissance polyphony to Romantic orchestral works, reflecting evolving musical styles while maintaining its devotional purpose. The music ranges from intimate vocal chamber pieces to grand symphonic compositions, often performed in both religious and concert settings.
