Pueri, 1.106, and Laudate Dominum, 1.107.
Missa à 5 is a setting of the mass for solo soprano
and SATB chorus. Note that the pitch standard for
Cathedral's music was about 392 Hz for A above middle
C, a whole tone lower than modern practice where A is
usually 440 Hz.
Although originally composed for Choir (S-SATB), I
created this arrangement of "Missa à 5" for Wind
Sextet (Flute, Oboe, English Horn, French Horn, Bass
Clarinet & Bassoon).
