The Missa brevis by Jonathan Dove was premiered in 2009 and is one of the most successful contemporary settings of the Latin mass. The work impresses with its enormous rhythmic energy and a particularly virtuoso organ accompaniment, which goes far beyond mere background music and offers the choir a glittering, pulsating foundation.

Dove combines a modern, accessible musical language with a wide emotional range in this composition. While the "Gloria" captivates with its dance-like liveliness and fanfare sounds, the "Kyrie" and "Agnus Dei" show an intimate, meditative side. The mass is an outstanding example of Dove's ability to fill traditional liturgical forms with a fresh and gripping musical aesthetic of the 21st century.
