Ludwig van Beethoven 's Missa Solemnis , composed at the same time as the Ninth Symphony , is one of the author's most fascinating works and the height of his creative maturity. Rarely performed in public due to the difficulty of the score and the extensive resources required for its execution, it constitutes a unique composition in the catalog of the Bonn genius due to the synthesis of elements from both Renaissance madrigalism and the classical tradition with the innovations of the last compositional stage of the author. Initially conceived as an enthronement mass for the Archbishop of Olmütz, Beethoven soon abandoned this goal to dedicate himself for years to the composition of a work of monumental dimensions, destined to be the living testament of his profound spirituality. During the author's lifetime, only a few fragments were performed together with the Ninth Symphony , in 1824. It was fully premiered posthumously in 1830.
