Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 音樂學系音樂科教學碩士班 === 103 === This thesis is composed of four main sections:
(1) Through investigating the relevant literature and analysis of Mozart’s compositions and it seeks to clarify the creative styles seen in Mozart's works categorized into several stages throughout his composition career. Not only will the Mass be considered within its religious context but also through the analysis of his stylistic development, one can grasp the collective compositional thoughts from other works that contribute towards the Mass.
(2) Musical expressions in Missa Solemnis: By following the cycle of five texts in the mass—the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei—the relationship between lyrics and music is further explored. In addition, how tonality, cadence, motifs, relationship between lyrics and melody line are organised as well as the musical expressions embodied in each part of the mass are fully studied in order to understand the virtuosity and excellence of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis and to provide a reference for music appreciation teaching or music theory.
(3) Musical interpretation of “Missa Solemnis in D major”: Based on the overall musical expression of lyrics, style, form, motif and melody in this work, a personal interpretation of how it can be performed is presented as a reference for future performers and further research.
(4) Conclusion on the study of the three parts mentioned above.
