Pavane Missa Brevis Boreal SATB a cappella composed by Matthew Emery

There are certain texts that have been set to music for centuries. Texts from the liturgical mass carry a rich legacy, and in the right hands, can breathe fresh sounds. Matthew Emery is a Canadian composer who only recently emerged onto the scene. Here a steady 4-part writing, beautiful sonorities and a 21st century musical vocabulary present a delightful new work appropriate for high school, college, community and church groups. Medium difficulty.
