Jazz Missa Brevis SSAA & Piano (Vocal Score)

Other Info: 'Jazz Missa Brevis' gives new life to the sung Latin Mass texts in an accessible, short setting which embraces a variety of jazz styles, from the swinging jazz waltz 'Kyrie' to the up-beat Latin-groove 'Gloria'. The smooth jazz ballad 'Sanctus', 7/8 'Benedictus' and soulful 'Agnus Dei' complete this inspiring Mass setting.

Underpinned by Todd’s characteristic jazz harmonies and melodic craftsmanship, it is suitable for performance both liturgically and as part of a concert by upper-voice choirs of all abilities.

The work can be accompanied by piano alone (as written or extemporised), piano, bass and drums, or alto saxophone, 2 trumpets and jazz trio (parts available separately). Extra music for optional use when 'Jazz Missa Brevis' is performed liturgically can be purchased as a digital download. Also available for mixed voices (SATB with divisi).
