This is a new and brilliant mass setting. Only the very moving Agnus Dei is presented here in print but the entire mass is given in the video. It is filled with the variety and contrast inherent in the text and flows smoothly from movement to movement. I love this piece!
Mass for Choir and Orchestra is available from MusicNeo http://www.musicaneo.com/sheetmusic/sm-235174_mass_for_choir_and_orchestra.html#235174
