This will be the ultimate outline of my Mass in E. I am writing this for three of my friends here at school. A Mass for three people is quite unusual, but I hope to exploit the chamber music sound and create something memorable.
The Lord's Prayer was what started this whole project. I wrote it about a month and a half ago, in about 5 hours. Since then I've revised it a little, of course. The trio of whom I wrote it for has given numerous performances of it alone, as well. There have been rehearsals of it in our floor lounge, where people sat and listened. Also, it was performed in te Soprano's Repertory class, in front of her studio collegues. A week later she performed it in the Voice Department Recital, in front of all the voice students and teachers, and various other folk. The complete Mass will be performed February 8th, in the third Composition Recital of the year.
The sound of the Mass has been described as the soprano as 'Jazzy Jesus'. I concur. There is a fusion of contemporary rock, jazz, and modern classical that I hope gives it a unique sound.
Here I present to you the Kyrie, most of the Gloria, and the Lord's Prayer.
If you cannot look at the Sib 3 file, the Kyrie and the Gloria are in the same MIDI. When the guitar and viola resolve in Ab major, then the voice sings Ab, Gb, Eb, C, Eb, Ab, and then the guitar comes in in 7/8, that is the Gloria.
If you have any questions about the lyrics(mixed English/Latin/Greek), ask away.
