Todd, Will - Jazz Missa Brevis - full score (jazz ensemble)

Will Todd’s 'Jazz Missa Brevis' gives new life to the sung Latin Mass texts in an accessible, short setting which embraces a variety of jazz styles, from the swinging jazz waltz 'Kyrie' to the up-beat Latin-groove 'Gloria'. The smooth jazz ballad 'Sanctus', 7/8 'Benedictus' and soulful 'Agnus Dei' complete this inspiring Mass setting. Underpinned by Todd’s characteristic jazz harmonies and melodic craftsmanship, it is suitable for performance both liturgically and as part of a concert by mixed choirs of all abilities. The work can be accompanied by piano alone (as written in the vocal score or extemporised), jazz trio (piano, bass and drums) or jazz ensemble (alto saxophone, 2 trumpets and jazz trio). This digital product is the full score for the jazz ensemble version. Parts are available as a separate print and digital products.
