The Gospel Mass—a mass for mixed choir, combo and concert band—is based on the gospel music that has spread throughout the world since its creation in America. After Missa Brevis and Missa Katharina this is the third mass fromthe pen of Jacob de Haan.
The movements of the mass ordinary as we know it have now been composed in various pop styles that have their origin in the gospel music. We hear, then, not only the classic American gospel style (including thecharacteristic clapping and swing rhythms), but also freer gospel styles that have developed over the course of time. The Credo, for example, is a ballad with rock and funk influences. The Agnus Dei is heard as a slow blues—a genreclosely linked to gospel music. The unique feature of this work, of course, is in the combination of all these pop and gospel elements with the Latin liturgy of the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, which results in abeautiful, cohesive whole. As far as we know, The Gospel Mass is the only true gospel mass.

The Gospel Mass – een mis voor gemengd koor, combo en blaasorkest – is gebaseerd op de gospelmuziek zoals die zich sinds haar ontstaan in Amerika overal in de wereld heeft verspreid en ontwikkeld. Het werk is na Missa Brevisen Missa Katharina de derde mis van componist Jacob de Haan.
De ordinariumdelenzoals we die kennen van een mis, zijn hier gecomponeerd in diverse popstijlen die hun oorsprong vinden in de gospelmuziek. Zo horen we niet alleen deklassiekeAmerikaanse gospelstijl (inclusief hand-clapping en swing), maar ook de vrijere gospelstijlen die zich in de loop der tijd hebben ontwikkeld. Het Credo is bijvoorbeeld gecomponeerd als een ballad, terwijl in andere delen rock- en funkinvloeden zijnverwerkt. Het Agnus Dei klinkt in een slow blues, een genre dat nauw verbonden is met de gospelmuziek. De unieke factor is de combinatie van al deze pop- en gospelelementen met de Latijnse misteksten van het Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictusen Agnus Dei – daarmee ontstaat een fraai, samenhangend geheel. Voor zover bekend is The Gospel Mass de enige echte gospelmis.

The Gospel Mass eine Messe für gemischten Chor, Combo und Blasorchester basiert auf der Gospelmusik, wie sie sich seit ihrer Entstehung in Amerika überall auf der Welt verbreitet hat. Das Werk ist nach Missa Brevis und MissaKatharina die dritte Messe aus der Feder von Jacob de Haan.
Die Ordinariumsteile, wie man sie aus einer Messe kennt, sind hier in diversen Popstilen komponiert, die ihren Ursprung in der Gospelmusik haben. So hören wir nicht nur den klassischen amerikanischen Gospelstil (inklusive Händeklatschen und Swing),sondern auch freiere Gospelstile, die sich im Laufe der Zeit entwickelt haben. Das Credo ist beispielsweise eine Ballade, in der Rock- und Funk-Einflüsse verarbeitet wurden. Das Agnus Dei erklingt als langsamer Blues ein Genre, daseng mit der Gospelmusik verknüpft ist. Der einzigartige Faktor dieses Werkes besteht natürlich in der Kombination all dieser Pop- und Gospelelemente mit den lateinischen Messetexten der Ordinariumsteile Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictusund Agnus Dei, die ein schönes, zusammenhängendes Ganzes ergibt. Soweit bekannt, ist The Gospel Mass die einzige echte Gospelmesse.

Th e Gospel Mass messe pour chœur mixte, combo et orchestre d’harmonie, fut composée partir du style gospel, qui, depuis ses origines en Amérique, s’est peu peu étendu dans le monde entier. Après Missa Brevis et MissaKatharina, voici la troisième messe signée par le compositeur Jacob de Haan.
Les différents mouvements de la composition de Jacob de Haan s’articulent selon le déroulement d’une célébration liturgique ordinaire. La Gospel Mass comporte divers styles pop qui trouvent leur origine dans la musique gospel. Nous entendonsalors, non seulement le style classique américain des gospels songs (y compris les applaudissements caractéristiques et rythmes swinguant), mais aussi une plus grande liberté d’usage des styles de gospel qui se sont développés au fil du temps. LeCredo, par exemple, est une ballade aux influences rock et funk. LAgnus Dei résonne comme un slow blues - un genre lent étroitement lié la musique gospel. La particularité de cette œuvre réside dans une belle et cohérente combinaisonde tous ces éléments pop et gospel avec le Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus et Agnus Dei de la liturgie latine. Pour autant que nous sachions, The Gospel Mass est la seule véritable messe gospel.

From the outset my two vocal versions of Mozart orchestral works were conceived as twins. Both models shared not only key of C minor, but the fact that they were composed towards the end of Mozart's life seemed to suggest they were predestined to be arranged as a pair; and finally, their formal structure and, above all, the quotation of a cantus firmus in each piece seemed to bind these two works together. It was more difficult to consider which text was now suitable to render vocally what previously was an orchestral movement. Naturally it should stand out and textually the movement should be raised to another level. The answer was to use another language here. Therefore, I chose the texts Kyrie eleison and Agnus Dei, i.e., the opening and concluding texts of the Ordinary of the Mass. For a performance of both vocal versions in concert I suggest joining them by playing Mozart's great F minor Fantasy K. 608 as an instrumental intermezzo between them. (Heribert Breuer) Kyrie: Vocal arrangement of the Choral of the Zauberflote Agnus Dei: Vocal arrangement of Maurerische Trauermusik KV 477.

Sweet and flowing, this movement makes a perfect stand-alone anthem for your choir. Duration 4:29.

This mass setting was commissioned by the Friends of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford and first performed on Ascension Sunday, 1994. Suitable for both church and concert use, the music is both lyrical and dramatic. The “Benedictus” is for SATB divisi and begins with a short 6/8 declamation, then moves into a section where the rhythmic idea is set in a sort of off-the-beat fashion, with all parts divisi playing against each other. A unison section with the off-the-beat motif follows. A majestic “Hosanna” follows. The “Agnus Dei” is set in a rubato triple meter in a homophonic style with close chords (also divisi.) At the “miserere,” the choir 1/choir 2 call and response motif from the “Gloria” returns. That same motif continues into the “dona nobis pacem,” as the movement (and the entire Mass) ends with a long decrescendo into a quiet call, “Pacem.” Duration 7:33.
