My work was written to provide a good and nice quality short mass for semi-professional choirs accompanied by only 5 professional instrumentalists. Church choirs celebrating a feast day do not need to resort to the same, few, short masses by Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert but gives an alternative piece that combines the styles of each and opening up heaven with the almost impressionist style in the last Agnus Dei. Extraordinary joy, happiness, contrasts, and grandeur characterizes the first three movements, while serious meditative drama characterizes the last "Agnus Dei". Agnus Dei still fits the glory of a happy feast elevating the listener up to heaven but is also appropriate music to be played at a funeral. Thank you for looking at it, please write to zsrajber@gmail.com or call 36-30-769-5432 if questions. Zsolt Srajber
