Six contemporary Scottish-based composers come together in this new Mass setting performed by the award-winning Dunedin Consort. Composers Malcolm Lindsay, Christine McCombe, Tommy Fowler, John Gormley, Anthea Haddow and Rebecca Rowe were each commissioned by the Dunedin Consort to set a movement of the Latin Mass to music. Each of the six sections of the Mass is divided into three parts: a plainsong performance of the appropriate chant, the composer's liturgical setting for a cappella choir, and a secular setting based on a text of the composer's choice for a soloist from the Dunedin Consort. Polychoral pieces interweave with harp-accompanied songs in a spiritual work that achieves unity in diversity. |
