This mass setting was commissioned by the Friends of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford and first performed on Ascension Sunday, 1994. Suitable for both church and concert use, the music is both lyrical and dramatic. The mood of the text is faithfully represented in the setting, yet with a lot of originality. The setting is sometimes declamatory, sometimes mysterious, with a “Crucifixus” which is hushed and reverent. Material from the “Kyrie” returns at “Et resurrexit.” Sections of this movement are in eight parts. Duration 7:16.
