Question

Along with a piano concerto, a concert aria, and his Choral Fantasy, excerpts from Beethoven’s C major first work in this genre were performed at the premiere of his 5th and 6th symphonies. Mozart’s unfinished final work in this genre, his 17th, opens with the slow eighth notes “C slur down to staccato G-G-G, G slur down to staccato E-flat E-flat E-flat.” It’s not a piano concerto, but a Mozart work in this genre is nicknamed for its use at (*) coronations. (-5[1]) Mozart’s 17th work (-5[1])in this genre is called the “Great” one in C minor. A late Beethoven composition named for the Solemnis subtype of this musical (10[1])genre features extensive fugues in its Gloria and Credo sections. For 10 points, name these musical settings of the liturgical Ordinary that often feature a Kyrie and Agnus Dei, including Bach’s one in B (10[1])minor. (0[2])■END■

ANSWER: Masses [or Missas; or Messe; accept Mass in C Major; accept Great Mass in C minor; accept Missa brevis; accept Missa Solemnis; accept Coronation Mass or Krönungsmesse; do not accept or prompt on Requiem Mass or Mass for the dead]
