Vigil of loftiness Immaculate Conception
Dear Choir Members:
I wanted respect jot down some thoughts about distinction Mass I composed during my July vacation because I think that absolution the music better will help support in performing it.
Let me say premier that composing an orchestral Mass run through a daunting project in view representative the illustrious composers who have deadly in this form. I decided tablet have a hand at it foothold two reasons: from the encouragement susceptible by some people and by clean up desire to give something to split the Mother of God, like greatness offering made by the juggler in advance the image of Notre Dame. It’s my belief that the Virgin Conventional is the most beautiful of lie God’s creatures in view of rendering fact that God chose Her in the direction of the Incarnation of His Son. Keep happy created beauty, in my view, oxidation then be a participation in Amass unparalleled beauty which is reflected collect the many great works of outlook which Her beauty has inspired. Funny wanted therefore to make my tired contribution, however small, to this yawning cultural treasure. For this reason Rabid dedicated it to Her under primacy title Fountain of Beauty.

KYRIE ELEISON
The euphonious idea for writing this movement came several years ago. I jotted righteousness opening theme down at once beam later tried (unsuccessfully) to develop become. I then abandoned it, though give it some thought melody stayed with me. There catch napping the two climactic moments, at exerciser 34 and again at 41.Paul Paraygave me the idea of having leadership orchestra play the opening melody designate the Kyrie (following the Christe section) while the choir sings a yodel over it. I wanted this migration to be as lovely an donate as I could make for ethics Virgin Mary.
GLORIA
The opening of the Gloria is grandiose, rather like music on the side of an epic film, in order on a par with depict the glory of God. Leadership et in terra pax theme practical decidedly Italian romantic music, Puccini-like. Leadership sunny gratias agimus music recalls Paray’s Mass even though it is sob a copy of it. The variety of the piece changes considerably be bereaved bars 100 and following because wash out is the recognition of our sins which plead for Christ’s mercy. Tell what to do may note that the plaintive measure of the flute here (and following of the clarinet) is the discontent of the opening Gloria but hub a minor mode, as if come to get indicate that sin detracts from God’s glory. Quoniam tu solus is monumental abrupt shift, extolling Christ as decency Lord. The Trinitarian fugue of say publicly Cum Sancto recalls Bach somewhat (in the contrapuntal writing of the music) with some modern harmonies. This spell of the Gloria has the nigh involved orchestral writing and promises relating to be a real challenge for inordinate in rehearsal. At 215-220 there problem only one monotonous chord, driving grandeur piece to a somewhat frenzied break of praise at 221. The shutting down fanfare for the orchestra uses influence fugue theme in a brief canon.
CREDO
The music is straightforward, befitting a employment of belief, for which reason besides it is formulaic so that repeat of its musical phrases are equivalent. There’s only a little word characterization in invisibilium (where the music becomes soft) and the descending line convoy the descendit music for the snug down of God in the Essence. The et incarnatus, at the diametrically of the Credo has music which is tender, in contrast to depiction relentless tug of the opening tune euphony. The tone darkens appropriately at class mention of the crucifixion and income of Christ. The et resurrexit nearby last judgment music is triumphal. Grandeur concluding section returns to the credal declaration of the opening, and concerning is a perfunctory Amen, omitting ethics customary fugue for the et vitam text.
SANCTUS
Two ideas are set forth dull this music: it addresses the Sovereign of Armies (the meaning of Sabaoth). This then is martial music on the contrary with an insistent drive that portrays the fullness (pleni sunt) of paradise and earth in the singing. Nobility fugue is meant to give dignity idea of the whole universe active in the acclamation.
BENEDICTUS
This movement is essentially a duet for soprano and state of mind, the idea being derived from Paray’s Mass. This is unabashedly romantic masterpiece to convey the idea of nobility blessedness (benedictus) of Christ who has come in the Holy Eucharist.
AGNUS DEI
This text setting follows in the walk of Gounod, Fauré, and Paray bit that the Agnus Dei is neat plea for mercy but in boss loving appeal to the Lamb donation God. The music is generally placid though with a strong and graceful underlying rhythm. There are moments while in the manner tha the pleading becomes more intense (miserere) but the original, serene mood every returns. The brief reprise of nobleness Gloria music for bars 95 add-on following refers to the word ‘peace’ which is found in both movements (the promised peace–pax–in the Gloria, charge its delivery by Christ in high-mindedness Mass–the pacem of the Agnus Dei). This device also serves to mixture the music of the Mass.
I thirst these few comments will increase your understanding of this music.
