About this arrangement

SATB choir, organ - moderately difficult SKU: EC.5829 Composed by Julian Wachner. 21st Century. Octavo. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #5829. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.5829). UPC: 600313458293."Missa Brevis was composed during the period 1986-87 at a time when I was very involved in the mid 80's rock/pop scene in New York City. Having just graduated from the St. Thomas Choir school, I was rebelliously involved in a few rock bands as a keyboard player and lead singer, and was composing primarily for that medium. This work, however, is one of two examples of my residual Anglicanism and only shows signs of the 'New Wave' in the Sanctus movement. The work has remained a personal favorite and has been well received by choristers and congregations alike, particularly the jazzy, rhythmically charged Gloria." - Julian Wachner.
