The sung mass has a long tradition in the Christian church, and has been interpreted in every musical era and style. This semester’s program features one of the best-known classical masses, Mozart’s Mass in C Major, K. 317, historically called the Coronation Mass, as well as two more contemporary mass selections, the Sanctus from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass, and the Agnus Dei from Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace.
The Southern Illinois Symphony Orchestra will join the soloists and choirs, under the baton of Dr. Susan Davenport, Director of Choral Activities and Professor of Music at SIU Carbondale.
