Wolfram Buchenberg's Missa ad maiorem Dei gloriam in Latin for big band, chorus, and baritone is a good half hour in duration. In the Kyrie the composer takes as his theme people's deep-seated fear and its overcoming through faith; the Gloria and Sanctus/Benedictus express overwhelming joy, and the Dona nobis in the Agnus Dei dies away in a mood of weightless floating. This absolutely thrilling setting of the mass, influenced by Latin jazz, suitable for concert or equally for liturgical performance, requires a large, well-rehearsed chorus and big band.

Based on the extensive Psalm 107, Die mit Schiffen auf dem Meer thrillingly describes a storm at sea, during which God saves the sailors in distress and guides them safely back to land. The musical realization of the tumultuous ocean is framed by hymns of thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. Regarding his compositional process, Christoph Schönherr says: I was particularly attracted by the idea of translating the different facets of the sea into music. It can calm us down, convey a sense of freedom through its vastness, or indeed actually offer a route to freedom. For others, of course, it is the bringer of death.The psalm setting skillfully interweaves sacred music traditions with the fascinating sonic possibilities of big band instrumentation, including its confident use of sassy 12/8 grooves and Latin rhythms.With its identical instrumental scoring, the work is the perfect match for the Missa ad maiorem Dei gloriam by Wolfram Buchenberg (Carus 28.010).
