Misa Una Santa Fe/One Holy Faith Mass offers a multitude of performance options, making this fully bilingual setting perfect for any parish. This comprehensive Mass contains every acclamation you'll need for the liturgical year plus additional verses for the Gospel Acclamations (including Lent), bilingual intercessions, the Preface dialogue, every form of the Memorial Acclamation, and a sung setting of the Our Father. And everything can be sung in Spanish, English, or any combination of the two. This setting works well with an ensemble of piano, guitars, and optional percussion, but also with organ. The use of brass quartet and timpani will enhance the Eucharistic Acclamations and add a festive dimension to this thoroughly appealing Mass setting.   This is the full score. Keyboard accompaniment and guitar chords are printed in full score.

This is a rather developed setting of the sung intercessions. The four-measure response is adapted for alternating between two-measure intentions (under which the choir sings on “oo”), and two-measure responses. A coda provides a repeated response a step higher.

This is a rather developed setting of the sung intercessions.

With its tonal language of subjective avowal, the first of Beethoven's two masses opens up new worlds of expression for the liturgical texts of the Mass which are expressly modern and point towards the future. Not to be considered a preliminary work to the Missa solemnis, it is an entirely independent work which set standards for the further development of settings of the Mass in the 19th century. Its newness, of which the composer himself was fully aware (I do not speak gladly of my Mass, or of myself, but I do believe that I have treated the text in a manner in which only few have treated it.), paves a way to an hitherto unknown, contemporary avenue to faith which today is still current. Carus presents this important work of church music history in a new critical edition by the Beethoven expert Ernst Herttrich. Score available separately - see item CA.4068800.

In 1988, GIA released Michael Joncas’s No Greater Love, a flexible mass setting offering cathedral-style music that was accessible to the singing assembly. Beautiful melodies enhanced by SATB choir and extensive orchestrations were the hallmark of this best-selling work. Now, Michael Joncas has revised this treasured setting using the 2010 Revised Order of Mass. The revision has a new through-composed Gloria that can be sung in unison during the Sundays of Ordinary Time, and for more festive occasions, one can add the optional instrumental and SATB choral parts. Also new to this setting are the gospel acclamation and a sung setting of the prayer of the faithful. The memorable congregational parts for the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei haven’t changed and the much-loved Holy, Holy has been adapted to accommodate the 2010 Revised Order of Mass text. The optional orchestration is now reduced and includes string quartet, flute, and oboe parts   Organ accompaniment is printed in the score.

Commissioned by the Maryknoll Community to celebrate its centenary of papal approval in 2011, Missa ad Gentes was composed with a particular vision – to create a Mass setting with the 2010 revised English texts representing both Maryknoll’s United States heritage as well as the diverse cultures in which Maryknoll missioners serve in Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.   With each piece of the Mass, Fr. Joncas honors the musical heritage of a different culture, creating a truly unique setting celebrating the Church’s diversity.  The title, meaning “Mass ‘to the peoples’” draws on the text of the Second Vatican Council’s document on missionary activities. “It is my hope that the Missa ad Gentes will assist English-speaking Roman Rite Catholics to worship with new liturgical texts, faithful to their heritage but enriched by the great diversity of languages and cultures that make up the Church Catholic.” -Michael Joncas.

SATB Choir (Mixed choir (SATB)) - Level 3

SKU: BA.BA08521

Composed by Marten Jansson. Stapled. Choral score. 14 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08521_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08521).

ISBN 9790006563203. 27 x 19 cm inches. Key: E-flat minor. Text Language: Latin.

The “Missa brevis in E flat minor” for mixed choir a cappella has been composed in the tradition of the short Mass (without Credo) and can be easily managed by most choirs. Thanks to its conciseness, it is suitable for use in church services, while its delightful harmonic layout and consciously simple melodies (with clear allusions to folk music) also make it perfect for concert performance.

“My music is my own and I have never tried to be original. That has always been my motto and I have only tried to use music to express all the feelings which life has to offer. This has led people to describe my music as ‘so sad that it sounds like birds who have lost their wings’ but also as ‘the happiest classical music that we have ever heard‘.
My compositions are almost all sacred. They express not only my own faith but also my appreciation and respect for the timeless texts that have been used for centuries and centuries.“

Mårten Jansson (b. 1965), elected member of the Föreningen svenska tonsättare (the Society of Swedish Composers), graduated from the Royal College of Music, Stockholm (KHM) with an MFA degree in Music Education, Dalcroze Eurhythmics and Voice. For more than ten years he was the music director and conductor of “Carmen”, one of the most prominent womens’ vocal ensembles in Sweden. He currently teaches choral conducting and music theory as well as giving vocal tuition at the Bolandgymnasiet and Musikskolan in his home town of Uppsala.

Composed by Howard Goodall. 21st Century. Instrument parts. Duration 7 minutes, 16 seconds. MorningStar Music Publishers #56-0074. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.56-0074).

UPC: 688670220777. Latin.

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 mood of the text is faithfully represented in the setting, yet with a lot of originality. The setting is sometimes declamatory, sometimes mysterious, with a “Crucifixus” which is hushed and reverent. Material from the “Kyrie” returns at “Et resurrexit.” Sections of this movement are in eight parts. Duration 7:16.
