Missa Popularis

As the name suggests, the Missa Popularis has its musical roots in folk music. This becomes clear in the first bars of the Kyrie, when the violin plays a melody in the style of a Swedish folk tune above a bass ostinato. The musical charm of the Mass setting derives from the combination of choir and string quartet. The flexible choral parts enable performances by treble or mixed choir with optional TB. A charming setting of the Latin Mass text.
