COMMISSION NEWS: NEW MASS SETTING FOR THE NETHERLANDS
"The _Missa Unitatis_ is the first mass setting to have been
commissioned by the Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap ('s-
Hertogenbosch) in almost 500 years, and as such resonates strongly
with the sound, aesthetic, and intention of its noble forebears. The
two choirs premiering the new work - the professional male-voice
ensemble Cappella Pratensis, and the Schola Cantorum of Sint-
Janskathedraal, 's-Hertogenbosch under Jeroen Felix - are different in
size (8 voices, c.50 voices), in range (one a 4th higher than the
other), and in function. Inspired by the Brotherhood's uniquely
balanced membership - precisely as many Protestants as Roman Catholics
(thus acknowledging the Church's need for unity while simultaneously
exposing the present lack of it) - this 'Mass of Unity' is designed to
be performed by two choirs separately and/or together."
Thank you for listening,
Antony Pitts
