The Messe solennelle (Solemn Mass) is a mass by the French composer Louis Vierne. He composed it in 1899, scored for choir and two organs. It was published in 1900, before it was first performed at Saint-Sulpice in Paris in December 1901. Although scored for two pipe organs, it was later adapted for a single organ, as most churches could not provide two such instruments.
In 1899, Vierne set the Latin text of the mass ordinary without the Credo, which makes it a formally a short mass or missa brevis. He imagined a mass for orchestra, but Charles-Marie Widor, his teacher and organist at Saint-Sulpice in Paris advised him to employ organs, for practical reasons. The mass was first performed at Saint-Sulpice in 1901, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 8 December.
The church has a great organ (grand orgue) in its back built by François-Henri Clicquot which Aristide Cavaillé-Coll had reconstructed and improved in 1862. The choir organ, in the choir, was built by Cavaillé-Coll in 1858. Vierne planned the effect of sound from the far ends of the church. In the premiere, Widor played the main organ, while the composer, who was by then organist at Notre-Dame de Paris, played the choir organ.
The mass was first published in 1900 by Pérégally & Fils in Paris, dedicated to Théodore Dubois. An arrangement for choir and one organ was made by Zsigmond Szathmáry, as the use of two organs is often not practical. Another arrangement for one organ by Markus Frank Hollingshau was published by Dr. J. Butz.
The mass is structured in five movements, omitting a Credo: The choir is mostly four-part, SATB, but at times divided further. In the following table of the movements, the markings, keys and signatures are taken from the choral score, using the symbols for common time (4/4) and alla breve.
Vierne builds on models by his teacher Widor and of César Franck, but adds more development of themes and "imaginative expression". He uses repeated rhythmic figures in the accompaniment. The Kyrie opens with "awesome solemnity", while the "mysterious antiphonal harmonies of the Benedictus" were new sounds in French church music, and the Agnus Dei ends, after antiphonal exchange between choir and great organ,serenely in C sharp major when praying "dona nobis pacem" (Grant us peace).

Fabuleux ! Merci
Enfin une interprétation claire où l’on entend toutes les notes (orgues et chœur) Bravo !
The choir sings very well, precise and with very good intonation. A plus over other recordings of the piece.
Is...awesome 💖 makes me feel in a way like never felt...in peace and so strong 💖 gives me so much good energy...gives me faith 💖
I went to School with Richard Hills. We were at Kings Rochester together. He was a fantastic Organist then and only gets better and better. Great performance.
Sublime ! !
JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH WAS AN INSANELY FANTASTIC COMPOSER. BUT DAMN, JUST THE KYRIE ALONE, AND MAYBE ONLY THE KYRIE ALONE MAKES MONSIEUR LOUIS VIERNE A SUPER-GENIUS IN HIS OWN RIGHT. IMHO, SECOND ONLY TO JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH. WOWSERS. DAMN, I LOVE THIS KYRIE !!!!!!!!!!
It’s all the more interesting that Monsieur Vierne passed away during his 1750th recitals (1750 is ofc the year of J.S Bach’s death) right at Notre Dame’s organ console.
