The Dunedin Consort: The People's Mass
Genre: Classical
Catalogue Number: DCD34018
Label: Delphian
Released: 21st October 2004
The Dunedin Consort has adopted a fresh approach to the Latin
Mass by commissioning a different composer to write each
movement. Six contemporary Scottish-based composers come
together in this new Mass setting whose most striking aspect is its
remarkable homogeneity, given the varied background of the six
composers.

The blending of six-part a cappella voices together with solo songs,
harp accompaniment and an upper voice choir for the plainsong
sections also gives the work an added dimension of space within
its harmonic framework.
Polychoral pieces interweave with harp-accompanied songs in a
spiritual work that achieves unity in diversity, designed to
stimulate and inspire the l i s tener’s inner soul.
The 24-page booklet comprises all texts and translations with an
accompanying essay written by the Dunedin Consort’s co-founder,
Ben Parry.
