A Gregorian Mass
Missa de Angelis
Edited and arranged by Christopher Moore Version 2 March 2002
The Gregorian Mass known as the Missa de Angelis is believed to date from as early as the 9th century. It is a plainsong mass, designed to be sung in unison and a cappella. This arrangement attempts to keep the essential character of the Mass, whilst providing a harmonically simple modern setting. The transcription of the Mass itself is from the original neumes, and is as consistent as possible with the commonly accepted interpretation of the flow of the music. This is not intended to be an academically precise interpretation ; there is, of course, no such thing. It is, however, based upon the editors own experience, and may be regarded as one possible way of interpreting the work. The accompaniment is suitable for both piano and organ this version has an organ pedal part. The Solo and Tutti markings are editorial and suggestive only. If a soloist is used, then an alto or bass voice may be preferable. There are four parts to the Mass. ! ! ! ! Kyrie Gloria Sanctus and Benedictus Agnus Dei
Also included are facsimiles of the neumes from which the arrangement was made. These are available through the excellent site at http://siul.rc.ipt.br/cantgreg/index_eng.htm, together with vocal recordings and much more very useful information The editor would appreciate feedback on this arrangement, and any suggestions for improvement. E-mail may be sent to cid_moore@optusnet.com.au. This edition may be freely copied for non-commercial performance. It may not, however, be changed in any way without the editors approval.
