Summary of This Score
This mass offers a classically constructed language, animated by a rhythmic and harmonic energy typical of jazz, making it a choral score as inspiring for liturgy as it is captivating in a concert context. Designed to adapt to different settings, it can be performed with a jazz ensemble, presented as a complete work in a hall, or integrated into a church celebration according to programming needs. You can also select certain numbers to accompany a non-Eucharistic office, notably during Vespers or other celebrations.
The forces are intended for soloists and choir, supported by a piano that structures the whole and carries the musical momentum. To enhance the sonic palette, the addition of handbells and celesta is possible, bringing brightness, relief, and atmosphere without overloading the setup. The content includes several liturgical sections, such as "Lord Have Mercy (Kyrie)", "Alleluia", "Holy, Holy, Holy", "While He Was at Supper (Institution-Narrative)", "Through Him, With Him (Doxology)", "Great Amen", "Lamb of God", as well as "Gloria" and other numbers. An excellent choice for choirs seeking a modern, expressive, and flexible choral mass at the crossroads of sacred repertoire and jazz sounds.
