The Missa romana is a mass setting in Latin. With a duration of c. 10 minutes, and a moderate level of difficulty, it is intended for performance in Catholic services. It combines jazzy chords and Latin American rhythms with quotations from the Gregorian Missa de Angelis, which is currently used in many parishes and is popular to sing. The aim is to portray the Latin American dance rhythms authentically and with infectious energy for the listening congregation. This can certainly be achieved through a performance with at leaset a percussion group which is able to exploit the variety of Latin American percussion instruments. The band could also include a double bass and, as harmony instrument, guitar and/or keyboard. The dance rhythms given serve as a guide to rhythm and tempo, and the chordal accompaniment should be improvised using the chord symbols. As performance with band won't always be possible, the Missa romana is written so that it can also be performed a cappella or with organ accompaniment.

These jazz arrangements of well-known hymns were written for Andrew Earis and choirs of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London for various services and BBC broadcasts from that church. The setting of “Come down, O Love divine†supplies some new harmonic moves to Vaughan Williams' lovely tune “Down Ampneyâ€, gradually adding vocal harmony through the verses, with a short descant section in the final verse. The compound-time arrangement of “God Is Love,†which can also be sung to the supplied words of Charles Wesley's hymn “Love Divine,†again adds more of Todd's iconic jazz harmonies and textures in the vocal parts with each successive verse. The setting of “Let all mortal flesh keep silence†is structured to gradually build layers over the moody piano chords and the pedal harmony. At the end the music builds to a large climax for the text “Lord most highâ€. The hymns can be performed using the supplied piano part or using the chord symbols above. Double bass may also be used in addition to piano, again following the supplied chord symbols, and parts for optional jazz ensemble are available. Performers of these hymns should feel free to include the congregation or audience in imaginative ways.
