As the name suggests, the 'Missa Popularis? has its musical roots in folk music.This becomes clear in the very first bars of the Kyrie, where the violin plays amelody in the style of a Swedish folk tune above a bass ostinato. The musical charm of the Mass derives from the combination of choir [SSA(TB)] and string quartet.The choral parts enable performances by female choir or mixed choir. In the latter case the string quartet is reinforced by a double bass.The version for female choir was premièred in Poznan on 25 April 2015, with Alicja Szeluga conducting the Skowroniki Girls Choir.(Level of difficulty: moderate) / Choeur SSA Et Quatuor A Cordes

Particular movements were very probably sung by a two-part choir, whilst the arias were kept for the soloists.In this edition, the outer movements and no. 8 are now scored for three-part choir (SMA) in contrast to the solo aria movements. Three further movements are set as trios for three solo voices.The added parts are derived from the existing musical material. These lend this well-known work a completely new charm and provide a welcome addition to the repertoire for choral concerts.- Arrangement for female choir (SMA) based on the Bärenreiter Urtext edition of the original work- Clear, straightforward piano reductionThe arrangerMalcolm Bruno is the editor of the Urtext edition of the ?Stabat mater?
