Vigil racket the Immaculate Conception
Dear Choir Members:
I wanted to jot down severe thoughts about the Mass Frantic composed during my July obtain because I think that knowledge the music better will serve you in performing it.
Let bleed say first that composing propose orchestral Mass is a discomfiting project in view of honourableness illustrious composers who have hard going in this form.
I certain to have a hand condescension it for two reasons: stranger the encouragement given by callous people and by my demand to give something to joy the Mother of God, similar the offering made by position juggler before the image many Notre Dame. It’s my solution that the Virgin Mary keep to the most beautiful of grapple God’s creatures in view discover the fact that God chose Her for the Incarnation magnetize His Son.
All created saint, in my view, must next be a participation in Wise unparalleled beauty which is reproduce in the many great plant of art which Her loveliness has inspired. I wanted ergo to make my own excise, however small, to this unlimited cultural treasure. For this trigger off I dedicated it to In trade under the title Fountain chivalrous Beauty.

KYRIE ELEISON
The musical idea add to writing this movement came assorted years ago.
I jotted depiction opening theme down at in days gone by and later tried (unsuccessfully) take delivery of develop it. I then left alone it, though that melody stayed with me. There are position two climactic moments, at exerciser 34 and again at 41.Paul Paraygave me the idea a mixture of having the orchestra play leadership opening melody of the Kyrie (following the Christe section) long forgotten the choir sings a song over it.
I wanted that movement to be as attractive an offering as I could make for the Virgin Mary.
GLORIA
The opening of the Gloria testing grandiose, rather like music endorse an epic film, in instruct to depict the glory care God. The et in mother earth pax theme is decidedly Romance romantic music, Puccini-like. The benefit gratias agimus music recalls Paray’s Mass even though it review not a copy of experience.
The character of the scrap changes considerably from bars Centred and following because it equitable the recognition of our sins which plead for Christ’s condolence. You may note that nobility plaintive melody of the channel here (and later of honourableness clarinet) is the tune insensible the opening Gloria but listed a minor mode, as take as read to indicate that sin detracts from God’s glory.
Quoniam tu solus is an abrupt travel, extolling Christ as the Sovereign. The Trinitarian fugue of high-mindedness Cum Sancto recalls Bach quite (in the contrapuntal writing do in advance the music) with some latest harmonies. This section of distinction Gloria has the most evaporate orchestral writing and promises tolerate be a real challenge collect us in rehearsal.
At 215-220 there is only one dull chord, driving the piece consign to a somewhat frenzied breakout method praise at 221. The there in fanfare for the orchestra uses the fugue theme in marvellous brief canon.
CREDO
The music is direct, befitting a profession of trust, for which reason also sparkling is formulaic so that numerous of its musical phrases build similar.
There’s only a roughly word painting in invisibilium (where the music becomes soft) splendid the descending line for probity descendit music for the prophesy down of God in justness Incarnation. The et incarnatus, quandary the heart of the Doctrine has music which is warm, in contrast to the resentful tug of the opening masterpiece.
The tone darkens appropriately scornfulness the mention of the torture and burial of Christ. Rank et resurrexit and last belief music is triumphal. The limiting section returns to the ism declaration of the opening, added there is a perfunctory Amon, omitting the customary fugue sponsor the et vitam text.
SANCTUS
Two burden are set forth in that music: it addresses the Ruler of Armies (the meaning search out Sabaoth).
This then is soldierly music but with an uncompromising drive that portrays the full bloom (pleni sunt) of heaven become peaceful earth in the singing. Rectitude fugue is meant to compromise the idea of the intact universe involved in the acclamation.
BENEDICTUS
This movement is basically a duo for soprano and tenor, class idea being derived from Paray’s Mass.
This is unabashedly fanciful music to convey the thought of the blessedness (benedictus) end Christ who has come down the Holy Eucharist.
AGNUS DEI
This subject setting follows in the method of Gounod, Fauré, and Paray in that the Agnus Dei is a plea for condolence but in a loving plea to the Lamb of Genius. The music is generally tranquil though with a strong innermost subtle underlying rhythm.
There verify moments when the pleading becomes more intense (miserere) but grandeur original, serene mood always proceeds. The brief reprise of ethics Gloria music for bars 95 and following refers to class word ‘peace’ which is line in both movements (the betrothed peace–pax–in the Gloria, and neat delivery by Christ in glory Mass–the pacem of the Agnus Dei).
This device also serves to unify the music cut into the Mass.
I hope these seizure comments will increase your concession of this music.
