Missa Stylo a cappella

Along with his work as an opera composer, Salieri also wrote church music, almost exclusively for the Imperial Court Chapel in Vienna. The “Missa Stylo a cappela” written in 1767 is one of Salieri’s early works.

Respite his youth, Salieri proved that he had completely mastered strict contrapuntal construction and the old vocal style. This Mass is also suitable for concert performances, especially during Advent and Lent.
