Before the implementation of the new translation of The Roman Missal, the Mass of Redemption enjoyed a high level of popularity in parishes across the country and beyond. With the advent of the new translation, this Mass has become even more popular. Steve Janco rewrote the Gloria for the new translation and his through-composed setting is energetic and bright, bringing a sparkle to the new text. The Mass is written in the bright key of D major, bringing a joyful quality to the celebration of Sunday Mass, especially during the Christmas and Easter seasons, as well as the Sundays of Ordinary Time. Set for cantor, choir, assembly, keyboard, and guitar (with optional instrumental parts for brass quartet and timpani, two woodwinds, and handbells), the choral writing is in two parts (SA/TB) with optional third voice, often a soprano descant, at climaxes in various sections. Music directors agree that the simple choral arranging makes this a setting appropriate for parishes that do not have the musical “forces” to sing many of the more vocally complex Mass settings. Mass of Redemption brings the choir, musicians, and assembly together in a symphony of praise and thanksgiving for the great gift of redemption in Christ—a wonderful setting to raise hearts and voices to God at Sunday Mass. Join the hundreds of parishes that have made Mass of Redemption a musical staple and a reliable setting of the Mass. Parishes simply never grow weary of singing this setting!   Highlights: Highly popular among parishes before the implementation of new texts, now even more widely used! Written in the key of D major, bringing jubilance to the celebration of Mass. A variety of options for instrumentation with simple choral arrangements—ideal for smaller choirs. A delightful setting for the Christmas and Easter seasons and ideal for Sundays during Ordinary Time.  .

The traditional Charles Wesley text is combined with the joyful and buoyant tune, LYNGHAM, to create a rousing anthem of praise in this arrangement by Anna Laura Page. Commissioned to honor long-time organist and editor, Sharron Lyon, this setting is full of life and energy. A regal first stanza is followed by a more legato treatment in the second stanza. The third stanza, set in relative minor, beautifully paints the text. A key change provides lift and energy, and the regal style of the first stanza returns with a triumphant ending. Available separately: Part for Handbells (3-5 octaves); Score and parts for Bb Trumpets 1 & 2, Trombones 1 & 2, Horn in F (sub. for Tbn. 1), Tuba, Percussion, Timpani, and Organ.
