Hi folks, I took a stab at writing some music for the Mass which includes the Kirie, Gloria, Alleluia, Sanctus, and Angus Dei. My goal was to produce something that is bit more intermediate, specially for the accompanist, and more musically interesting than your everyday NO mass setting, but that was still approachable for volunteer choirs and the contemporary congregation. I'm curious to get some feedback from choir directors and singers on the feasibility of use and maybe help check the parts for glaring issues as well as overall comments about the direction. (And to showcase my work and asset interest levels of course.)
Besides tidying, further work would probably include a dedicated organ part as an option instead of piano, including a composition for the memorial acclamation, and producing parts singers and the worship aid.
About myself, I'm a singer and pianist in Sonora, CA at Saint Patrick's Parish. I studied composition at San Jose State University and a hobbyist composer since then. I started volunteering in the choir here a few years ago and have been wanting to contribute new music to the Church ever since.
