The Glendalough Mass by Liam Lawton

Having made backings to the parts of this mass, I can see why people are so impressed by Liam Lawton‘s setting. The tunes are lovely and, as with most of the masses I’ve looked at here, I’d love to listen to an enthusiastic assembly sing it.

 

It would be a challenge to teach with the wide vocal range of the Gloria and the timing issues in the Sanctus but if they were overcome it would be a inspiring setting to unleash on your assembly.

 

The guitar version that I bought here includes the SATB parts, which is great if you want them, but simple strummers like me may prefer melody line + chords and nothing else. I was surprised to find MIDI versions on the web that may be of use if you plug these files into your keyboard.
