Mass for Our Lady of Light

This is the MP3 playlist for Mass for Our Lady of Light, a new Mass setting by Jesse Manibusan and Remi Fonseca Bauer.

This crossover style Mass setting will appeal to both contemporary and traditional worshiping communities, meeting the needs of a variety of assemblies. By adding percussion and guitar, it can be a lively Mass for a contemporary ensemble. Or try it with bells and wind instruments to create a more majestic sound. With parts for the entire liturgy, and both a refrain version and through-composed version of the Glory to God, it is thorough and is sure to prove a welcome addition to any parish's repertoire.

By naming the Mass for the Blessed Mother, the composers' hope is not only to honor her but to convey a sense of joy, comfort and celebration to those present in the liturgies where it is sung.

The four sample tracks in this MP3 album will guide pastoral musicians and choirs in the tempos and uplifting feel of this dynamic new Mass setting.
