The Missa angelica (Angelic Mass) is a mass composed by Józef Świder in 1998.[1] He scored it for soprano or tenor solo, a four-part choir, string orchestra and percussion. He also wrote a version for women's choir and keyboard instrument (piano or organ).[1] It was published by Carus-Verlag in 2009.[2]
Świder is a Polish composer whose sacred music is popular in his home country and abroad.[1] The title Missa angelica is often used for a mass connected to the annunciation by the archangel Gabriel. Świder set the complete liturgical text of the Mass Ordinary, and even the final "Ite missa est" with an added Alleluja.[2]
Structure
Świder structured the text in seven movements, which he marked for tempo in Italian:[2]
- Kyrie – Lento cantabile
- Gloria – Allegretto vigoroso
- Credo – Maestose, con moto
- Sanctus – Maestoso
- Benedictus – Adagio cantabile
- Agnus Dei – Lento
- Ite missa est – Allegretto vigoroso
The duration is given as 24 minutes.[1]
