Chapple, Brian - Missa Brevis Exoniensis

Written in 2009 for Andrew Millington and the Choir of Exeter Cathedral. Unaccompanied SATB choir.

'Written for Exeter Cathedral and already in the repertoire of other cathedral choirs, this straightforwardlymelodic,tonal setting does not divide the voices and could be learnt and sung enjoyably by any church choir with, for example, the Byrd Mass for Four Voices in its repertoire. Although there are no soloists, the composerfrequently usesindividual choir sections for brief quasi-solo passages, contrasting with full SATB. The Osannas at the end of Sanctus and Benedictus will sound breathtaking in a resonant acoustic.' - Sunday by Sunday
