This Missa
Brevis from 1877 was
dedicated to the
Congrégation des Dames
auxiliatrices de
l’Immaculée
Conception. Founded in
1858, by 1880 the
order’s mother
house in Paris had 72
members, and maintained
an orphanage for 90
children and a 30-bed
hospital. This Missa
Brevis would have made a
fine, practical setting
for the sisters to sing
at High Mass, and perhaps
for the orphans to sing
as well. The movements
are just the right length
to work well during the
liturgy, and simple
enough to learn quickly
and remember easily.
Although very easy, they
carry their text well,
and benefit from careful
dynamic shaping by
experienced choirs.
individual movements may
also be sung as
free-standing church
anthems, or as concert
pieces. We are happy to
provide the entire Mass
in octavo form, or to
negotiate print licenses
for individual movements.
