Christoph Dalitz -- Missa Tribus Vocibus

This is EXACTLY what you need!

This is a really nice Missa Brevis, to which are added a very weird Gloria & Credo.

Thanks for the shout-out...I see I should prettify that scan, since I put it up before I learned the tricks I know now.

There's an SAB version of the Byrd mass for three voices (evidently the tenor line is taken up an octave by sopranos). I would also recommend the Missa Octavi Toni of Lassus otherwise known as his Missa Jager (although it's SATB). It's relatively simple and short. (Lassus's employer enjoyed hunting more than assisting at lengthy masses).

I recently wrote an SABar setting specifically for this reason. Although technically not accompanied, the voice lines can be effectively doubled on a light flute (8 / 8/4). We used it on one occasion and it attracted some very positive comments. There is a Credo (if necessary / for concert use) as well as the main five pieces. http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/missa-brevis-a-tre-voce-digital-sheet-music/20229298

I knew you would ;-)

I think that second Mass is also Turner, and that Cary was the publisher, in London, of both. Can you point us to an available source of the music?

That would be welcome: we used to sing the Turner Cecilia Mass in Boston, and it was quite serviceable.

Hi, I'm resurrecting this thread to say that I have at last put on cpdl the Mass of St Cecilia by Rev J. E. Turner OSB and Mass of St Francis by Alphonse Cary. At least, I hope they are there.
If people find this sort of thing useful I have more out-of-print polyphonic Masses I can make available, like the Mass of the Holy Rosary by ? and Mass of the Good Shepherd by Rev. Turner. There are a few by Sir Richard Terry too.But Holy Week and Easter need attention first.

Turner Caecila and Good Shepherd are both up at catholicromantic.jeffreyquick.com Cary St. Francis is on IMSLP

Viola, thank you for doing this. Watch those dumpsters! Check your Cecilia though; there doesn't actually seem to be a file there. If you put these on IMSLP, you only have to wory about copyright for composers death + 50 years, which might be relevant for some more recent things.

Yes. Please. SAVE THIS MUSIC. Even if it's absolute crap. It's important to know where we came from, for better or worse.

I have now succeeded in uploading the St Cecilia Mass, sorry about that. There is a lot of this stuff out there, and I will upload more, once we have got through Holy Week and Easter.
I like to look round old churches as part of my research, and once came across an elderly chap who was moved to tears as he told me how all the old Latin polyphonic music sung by the choir had been thrown out into a builder's skip (=dumpster) during recent renovations. That church used to have a fine choir, but after the misinterpretation of Vatican II's directives on music the choir was disbanded and the music thrown out.
Very sad.

The file seems to be too large so I'll upload it in two halves: Kyrie and Gloria as part 1, then the rest in part 2.
The Mass of St Francis by Alphonse Cary has uploaded with no problems.

Forgive me, but where? I don't see this one either.

Masses of St Francis and St Cecilia are both now on cpdl.

I'm currently writing one!
The Kyrie I posted Last night AUS time.
It's SAT but can be transposed down easily.
