Missa Popularis MARTEN JANSSON

Classique

Description :

Set of parts ( Violin I, II; Viola; Cello; Bass) As the name suggests, the “ Missa Popularis ” has its musical roots in folk music. This becomes clear in the very first bars of the Kyrie, where the Violin plays amelody in the style of a Swedish folk tune above a Bass Ostinato. The musical charm of the Mass derives from the combination of Choir [SSA(TB)] and String Quartet. The Choral parts enable performances by female choir or mixed choir. In the latter case the String Quartet is reinforced by a Double Bass. The version for female choir was premièred in Poznan on 25 April 2015, with Alicja Szeluga conducting the Skowroniki GirlsChoir. also available for sale full score (BA7420) & vocal score (BA7420-90)
