Product Description
Missa humilis (= Humble Mass) in D, a mass for choir a cappella based on the Catholic liturgical text and with all its themes based on Orthodox chants: no fanatic dogmatism, nor leveling ecumenism, but aiming simply at unity in spirit, love and truth.
Suitable for use in church services, due to its modest length, forces, and contemplative character. Its style is accessible, based on church modes and mostly consonances and some non-functional chords, yet not ostensibly modernist and almost neo-impressionistic.
The movements: "Kyrie", "Gloria", "Credo", "Sanctus", "Benedictus", "Agnus Dei", and "Dona nobis pacem".
The present publication includes the choral score and an organ part for rehearsal use only.
Total length: ca. 20 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The mp3 audio clip is the first movement, "Kyrie".
