Christopher Tambling

Missa brevis in Es

What does it sound like when Percy Whitlock composes while on vacation in Paris? This is the scene the popular composer Christopher Tambling had in mind when he wrote this extraordinary mass. It is permeated by elements and moods of French Romantic church music from Widor and Vierne to Duruflé, as well as those of the English Romantic composers Elgar, Whitlock and others, whom he admired so much. In terms of sound, this leads to moments of great emotionality in both the majestic and sonorous parts of the Ordinary and the contemplative ones. For the full development of the sound, the organ should have a certain volume and richness of color. This new mass is a tonal feast that will give the choir completely new impulses and leave a deep, lasting impression on singers and listeners alike!
