Missa brevis

Missa Brevis is the first mass I wrote. The first version was for treble voices because, at that time, I was directing a vocal group for bass voices. The work was premiered by Voces Capituli in 2013. At the request of this vocal group, a Gloria was added, which was not originally part of the movement set.

Kyrie

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Gloria

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te, Benedicimus te, Adoramus te, Glorificamus te,
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam,
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine fili unigenite, Jesu Christe,
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius patris,
Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis.
Quoniam tu solus sanctus, Tu solus Dominus,
Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe,
Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.

Sanctus

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.

Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
