Missa Brevis by Jacob de Haan: A Masterpiece of Choral Music
Missa Brevis is a mass for wind orchestra and choir composed by Jacob de Haan, a Dutch contemporary composer and conductor. It was commissioned by the Departmental Council for Music and Culture of Haut-Rhin (Dir.: Philippe Pfisterer) of Guebwiller in France, on the occasion of the celebrations of the millennium of the birth of Pope Leo IX in Eguisheim. The world premiere took place on June 23, 2002 under the direction of the composer, and was broadcast live on the national television channel France 2.
The mass consists of six movements: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei. Each movement has its own character and style, ranging from solemn and majestic to lyrical and expressive. The choir sings in Latin, while the wind orchestra provides a rich and colorful accompaniment. The music is influenced by various musical traditions, such as Gregorian chant, classical harmony, jazz and pop.
Missa Brevis is a work of great beauty and spirituality, that showcases the talents of both the choir and the wind orchestra. It is also a tribute to Pope Leo IX, who was a reformer and a peacemaker in the 11th century. The composer said: \"I hope that this music will contribute to the dialogue between cultures and religions\".
