Missa in d

The Missa in d, composed around 1750, is one of the few surviving compositions of Altnickol. He was the student and later son-in-law of Johann Sebastian Bach. The wealth of forms and at the same time, the clarity of this composition show the influence of his teacher, but above all it shows the expression of an individual style of church music. With its contrapuntal mastery and musical depth this Kyrie-Gloria Mass, presented here in a first edition, represents a high point in this widely disseminated genre.
