Marked by exceptionally rich and powerfully expressive melody and harmony, this Latin Mass radiates joy, encourages solemnity, assists in lamentation, moves in contemplation, speaks directly to human emotions, and reflects faith, trust, hope, and a zest for life. The easy-to-perform organ or piano accompaniment, which is optional, and mostly colla parte, provides support for the vocal parts and lends the Mass an added festive splendor. Fitting for church and community choirs alike.
