This mass setting was commissioned by the Friends of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford and first performed on Ascension Sunday, 1994. Suitable for both church and concert use, the music is both lyrical and dramatic. The “Kyrie” is for SATB (altos divisi throughout) and is 31 measures of a slow but lilting 6/8 meter in which the basses have a very prominent role. Duration 1:47 |
