Description:
Will Todd's '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 mixed choirs of all abilities. The work can be accompanied by piano alone (as written or extemporised), jazz trio (piano, bass and drums) or jazz ensemble (alto saxophone, 2 trumpets and jazz trio - parts available separately).
