It was during a short, weekend vacation cruise to Ensenada. B.C. (from Los Angeles) with the St. Cyril Choir that the idea for an Amazing Grace Mass came about. The more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea of writing for chorus and bagpipes.

The early draft used two bagpipes, but when we had a piper come to a rehearsal so that we could see how it would work, it became readily apparent that one piper would be more than enough. It was, in fact, just right. The final form of the piece was achieved by a process of progressive simplification, i.e., the bagpipe part had to be simplified in order for it to be coherent and not just noise. The chorus, needed simplification in order to compete with the sheer volume of the bagpipe during performance. Thus, the piper basically plays the tune Amazing Grace throughout each movement of the Mass, while the chorus sometimes sings the same tune, and sometimes sings uncomplicated lines against the piper melody.

The text is the full Proper of the Roman Catholic Mass in Latin.

At the beginning, this setting is deceptively demure. Don't be fooled! Choral bagpipe snarls (pipers piping), choral dub-a-dubs (drummers drumming), and other satisfyingly silly devices pile up in show-stopping mayhem on the very last, the ultimate day of Christmas.

In the south German-Austrian region the Pastoral Mass of Johann Baptist Schiedermayr was regarded as one of the most well-known and beloved works in this genre. Engaging melodies, passages in thirds and sixths, and typical pastoral motives, such as horn calls and open fifths, the latter a reminder of the bourdon of bagpipes or a hurdy-gurdy, characterize the movements of the Mass. Lyrical sections, such as the Et incarnatus est, which is the center of Shiedermayr's setting of the Ordinary, alternate with festive passages in which trumpets and timpani brilliantly express the festive joy of Christmas. Score available separately - see item CA.2706900.
