| Leos Janacek: Mass: Mixed Choir: Vocal ScoreFormat : Sheet music Unfinished Mass-Mass E-flat major 'Unfinished Mass'for SATB soloists mixed chorus and organ By reason of its conciseness of style Janacek's Latin Mass from around 1907-1908 gives the impression of being an inspired sketch rather than a finished work. In particular the brevitv of the Agnus Dei is surprising in effect. The work has a number of striking features: its totally individual melodic andrhythmic style resulting from Janacek's well-known approach to word-setting; the use of rests for expressive purposes; the original use of heterophony which here replaces traditional polyphony; and the expressively written instrumental part. A truly worthwhilepiece offering reasonably proficient amateur choirs a good introduction to modern choral repertoire.
