Description
Unison choir, organ - Medium
SKU: PL.9407
Composed by Michael Ferguson. Cathedral/Parish. Choral, Eucharist. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9407. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9407).Michael Ferguson's crystalline writing and transparent texture are sensitive to the Mass text. The Kyrie is quiet and subdued, supported by a modal organ accompaniment. The Gloria adds rhythmic variety, changing occasionally into triple meter. The Sanctus and Benedictus' are both quiet movements with the Benedictus sung as a soprano solo. The Agnus Dei is reflective in character with the final dona nobis pacem fading to PPP. This unison Mass is accessible not only to adult choirs, but to youth choirs as well.
