A versatile Mass setting for use throughout the liturgical year, Mass of the Sun of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia is fully bilingual, singable entirely in English or in Spanish, or any pastoral combination of both languages. At its core, this setting is built on assembly-minded melodies. Much of the choral writing is two-part, albeit spelled out in four voices, whereby the basses frequently double the soprano melody, and the alto and tenor lines essentially share a single harmony in their respective ranges, splitting only at cadence points for a fuller effect. Optional descants and divisi further expand the voicing possibilities. The additional instrumentation is particularly spirited, further enhancing these sung texts for solemn occasions. “Sun of justice†is a term used to reference Christ with respect to his second coming, as found in the ancient “O†antiphons. This title appears in the Lectionary among the Alleluia options for the common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is, in fact, assigned to the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebrated within the Advent season. As such, the music is “Advent-like†in nature—joyful and filled with hope. ~~~~~ Una Misa versátil para usar durante todo el año litúrgico, Mass of the Son of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia es completamente bilingüe, se puede cantar completamente en inglés o en español, o en cualquier combinación pastoral de ambos idiomas. En esencia, este arreglo se basa en melodÃas para la asamblea. Gran parte de la escritura coral es de dos partes, aunque escrito para cuatro voces, por lo que los bajos con frecuencia duplican la melodÃa de soprano, y las lÃneas de alto y tenor comparten esencialmente una sola armonÃa en sus respectivos rangos, dividiéndose solo en los puntos de cadencia para una melodÃa más completa. Los discante y divisi opcionales amplÃan aún más las posibilidades de sonorización. La instrumentación adicional es particularmente animada, mejorando aún más estos textos cantados para ocasiones solemnes. Sol de justicia es un término que se usa para referirse a Cristo con respecto a su segunda venida, como se encuentra en las antÃfonas O antiguas. Este tÃtulo aparece en el Leccionario entre las opciones de Aleluya para el común de la SantÃsima Virgen MarÃa y, de hecho, está asignado a la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, celebrada dentro del tiempo de Adviento. Como tal, la música es en esencia de adviento—alegre y llena de esperanza. ~~~~~ Preview select songs from this mass setting in the video below:.

Prolific composer Eugene Englert has written this charming work for SATB choir, cantor, and assembly based on the memorable words of St. John: God is love and they who abide in love abide in God and God in them (1 John 4:16, NRSV). The lyrical horal refrain in C-major leads to a pleasing diversion in tonality to E-flat major for the cantor's solo verses as the obbligato C instrument gently floats above.

UPC: 785147859505. English. Text by Adam M. L. Tice.
With a relaxed lilt, a 4-note motive makes up the first portion of the verses by cantor or unison voices. Verse 3 offers an altered echo for two soloists, with the same material repeated for the choir on the last verse. Additional instrumentation was originally conceived for soprano recorder or pennywhistle, but works well with flute, oboe, or other C instrument. The text of comfort is particularly suited to the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A.
