Description
Setting of the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei
for SATB choir and full orchestra based on my "mass for men's voices and organ"
(which can be found on: http://www.dwsolo.com/serif/massformensvoices.html )
The style is lyrical and neo-classical with a few hints of oriental modes
("full of Eastern promise" as a member of the congregation said when the original version was performed in Manchester).
The sound sample is an electronic preview but a professional live recording is expected soon.
The pdf file contains score and parts (with the Choir part as a complete SATB score). The score on its own is also available on this site.
The optional orchestral finale "Ite Missa Est" and the original versions for men's voices and organ and for sopranos, altos, men's voices and organ are also available on this site.
