This Missa Brevis presents sacred polyphony written for the Holy Mass, continuing the great tradition of Catholic choral music. The work follows the structure of the Ordinarium Missae — Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei — the fixed liturgical texts that have inspired composers for centuries.

Although composed in the modern era, this Mass stands firmly within the tradition of sacred choral polyphony. The balanced vocal writing, clarity of texture, and reverent treatment of the Latin text reflect the enduring influence of Renaissance and Roman liturgical style, while subtly incorporating the harmonic language of the 20th century.

A Missa Brevis is traditionally concise in form, yet spiritually complete. Each movement preserves the solemnity and theological depth of the Mass, offering music intended not for concert display, but for prayer, contemplation, and liturgical devotion.

This recording highlights the continuity of sacred polyphony across centuries, demonstrating how the choral tradition of the Church remains alive in modern composition.

An immersion into sacred choir music for the Holy Mass.
