The Mass of Saint Benedict was originally written in response to the introduction of the New Translation of the Roman Missal in 2011. Margaret has now adapted this already hugely popular setting for Common Worship.
The setting has a strong melodic content that congregations will easily pick up, and optional SATB choir and flexible instrumental parts.
As well as the main movements of the Mass; Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and two settings of the Agnus Dei, Margaret has set music for the Gospel acclamation, Memorial acclamations, Doxology and Great Amen. The unified style provides a setting that will be easilty learnt and enjoyed by congregations, whilst churches with choirs will appreciate the choral writing by an expert in her field. Instrumental parts are included to make this a really useful setting for churches with instrumentalists.
The congregation parts at the back of the book may be photocopied for local church use.
