Composed by Richard St. Clair. 20th Century,A Cappella,Christian. Octavo. 38 pages. Richard St. Clair #3000253. Published by Richard St. Clair (A0.939656).This Latin Mass on all 5 movements of the Mass Ordinarium (Kyrie - Gloria - Credo - Sanctus/Beneductus - Agnus Dei) owes its title to the fact that with one exception every syllable of the Latin text receives one note of sung music. Of this work, eminent musicologist Willem Elders has commented "It's interesting to see how you have been dealing with a text that in the past has been set by countless composers. It is what could be called a real 'Missa brevis', and I suppose that the cardinals of the Council of Trent in the 16th century might have been very happy with it, apart then from its harmonies, to which they were not yet used." The sound clip is of the first two movements. Stylistically, the music is mostly "tonal" with some more contemporary pandiatonic harmonies, and the rhythms are quite straightforward.
