Deutsche Messe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deutsche Messe, or The German Mass, (Deutsche Messe und Ordnung des Gottesdiensts) was published by Martin Luther in 1526. It followed his Latin mass, Formula missae (1523).
The German Mass was completely chanted, except for the sermon.
It should not be confused with Schubert's Deutsche Volksmesse, a low mass widely known in Richard Proulx's English adaptation as the German Mass.
