Mass of Creation

Newly remastered on CD and cassette, now including the "Kyrie" and "Glory to God."

Utilizing text from Scripture, the ICET Mass setting, ICEL's Eucharistic Prayer III, Henry Alford, and his own poetry, Marty Haugen has composed an entirely new setting for Eucharist based on the themes and visions of the Lord's work of creation. Contents include everything from Song of Gathering to Song of Thankgiving including a musical setting of Eucharistic Prayer III.

The recording features a beautiful rendition of Eucharistic Prayer III sung by Michael Joncas which can be easily learned and performed by any presider, even those with a limited musical background.

The entire Mass may be performed by small ensemble groups with their congregations using either piano or guitar and woodwinds with unison and two part voices utilizing the music collection. SATB choirs with a full complement of organ, brass, handbells, percussion, and woodwinds may perform this inspiring setting with their assemblies utilizing the SATB choral parts.

A valuable resource for every parish regardless of the size or traditions of their musical resources.
