Yon Mass of the Shepherds 2-part

Jeffrey Quick

Does anyone own a copy of the 2-part (with optional 3rd) version of Pietro Yon's Mass of the Shepherds (Messa dei Pastori) in LATIN (©1937). My ILL attempt didn't work out since the Duquesne copy was miscatalogued (©1965 and in English)

Is that it?

Ben

paging @expeditus1 ... I know I've sang this with you before

dad29

that is it

Steve Collins

I just played through it, and I like it. It sounds like Christmas. Was it written with Christmas in mind? Can you include the rest of the Credo? Thanks.

expeditus1

Yes, Ben, we have sung this - the SATB version.

ClemensRomanus

Unfortunately, Steve, this is all I found.

Jeffrey Quick

Thanks! I wouldn't be using the Credo anyway. If ILL coughs up a version, a prettier scan might make it to IMSLP (only legal for our non-American brethren to download *cough*)

There is now a pretty and complete scan of this up at IMSLP. (Give it a day or two to get passed). Meanwhile, I'd given up and copied the one from ClemensRomanus. I was not going to do the Gloria as it's different music (and we never do composed Credos), but my folks had such an easy time with the other movements that I'll probably give them the Gloria next week. I can't say it's a howling masterwork, but as Steve says, it sounds like Christmas.
