| |  The Missa Brévis for 3 voices in E flat was published in 1878 by the Parisian publisher Graff for soprano, alto and baritone tessitura with organ accompaniment and double bass ad libitum. A short Mass indeed since it contains only four of the five parts of the Ordinary of the Mass. The Creed is omitted and, musically, the Agnus Dei will be a reprise of the original Kyrie.It is this complete version in small numbers that we offer with this present edition.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) |
| | |  Messe en UT", by Charles Gounod arranged for 3 mixed voices choir (SAB) and piano by Pierre Calmelet. This arrangement allows all the choirs to take possession of this major work of the repertoire, until now reserved for two equal voices ensembles. Its stripped down and very singing character always enthuses the spectators as well as the choristers. In addition, all the voices benefit from a reasonable ambitus, allowing a great comfort for all the tessitura giving free rein to a beautiful work of interpretation. |

| | |  This short mass is one of the songs written for amateur choirs. It’s a work for modest people with the noble meaning of being craftspeople, music blacksmiths, and sound builders with the pure wish of doing a fine work. Patrick Rutgé wants to write in a more contemporary language, to test different sounds and give it all to imagination and expression. The choir conveys incredible emotions, linking real and unspeakable without being easy or demagogic. |
