Non-liturgi
cal setting of the Kyrie,
Sanctus and Agnus Dei
from the Latin Mass,
scored for 4-part
children's choir and full
orchestra. The composer
states that each movement
is reasonably
substantial, with much
space for the orchestral
music to grow and develop
[...] a lot of the vocal
writing was imagined as
an extension and
enhancement of the
orchestral palette where
the young voicesare
'smudged' into the
orchestral sound in an
impressionistic manner.
Little Mass (2014) was
commissioned by the Royal
Liverpool Philharmonic
Society for its 175th
Anniversary, the Royal
Scottish National
Orchestra and the
Bournemouth Symphony
Orchestra. Supported by
Sally, Mary and Jonathan
Groves to mark the
centenary of SirCharles
Groves, in the month he
would have celebrated his
100th birthday. Suitable
for intermediate standard
voices and advanced
standard orchestra.
