Productomschrijving

A beautiful short setting of the ordinary of the Latin mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus & Benedictus, and Agnus Dei) by emerging Cornish composer Becky McGlade. The Kyrie finds beauty in its simplicity, which is later echoed in the Agnus Dei. The sumptuous parallel harmony and natural melodies create an atmosphere of penitent sorrow, so central to both texts. The Gloria offers something more joyous and upbeat, yet not straying from the cleverly constructed harmony and voice leading. The emotional climax comes with the Sanctus & Benedictus, which begins with the warm texture of the full choir, and through the gentle dissonances and soaring soprano line the composer conveys something of the holiness and glory of God.

Ideal for choirs looking to expand their liturgical music repertoire with a manageable but impressive new mass setting. Also appropriate for concert use.

Duration: ca. 10 min.

 

Composer’s note
When setting out to write this Missa Brevis I was drawn first to the Sanctus and Benedictus, the words of which, for me, form the highlight of the Mass and I wanted to reserve the most sumptuous music for these. Unlike the sparser openings of the other movements, the Sanctus begins with the warm texture of the full choir, and through the gentle dissonances and soaring soprano line I attempt to convey something of the holiness and glory of God.

The Gloria offers an opportunity to include something more joyous and thus opens jubilantly with tenors and basses in unison and dances its way to the end in a lively setting of the text. The Mass opens with two short phrases sung by the upper voices in a sombre D minor. This is echoed at the opening of the final movement (where the phrases are rhythmically similar to those of the Kyrie) and thus I attempted to begin and end the work in an atmosphere of penitent sorrow which is so central to both texts with their pleas for mercy. The mood of the Agnus Dei changes as the key shifts to the major and the softness and serenity of the close reveals that through the Lamb of God we find the forgiveness and peace we have sought.
