Mass with the Masters -- Feb. 16 at 10:30 am
Schubert's Mass in G
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) wrote the Mass in G when he was only seventeen years old, and he did so in less than a week. Schubert, who was well known for the art songs (leider) that he wrote for solo singers, incorporates that style into this work, creating a very melodic and lyrical work. This mass is known as a missa brevis, or short mass, which makes it ideal for us to use in our Anglican liturgy.
Guest Organist Peter Krasinski
On this day, Peter Krasinski, a world famous organist, will be with us to play the Schubert Mass. Based in Boston, Peter is known for both playing organ repertoire, but also improvisation, the art of making music extemporaneously. He is especially well known for playing the organ for silent films and improvising all of the music for the length of the film. We get to experience Peter’s excellent church service playing skills, including playing the Schubert Mass for the choir, but also improvising a wonderful prelude and postlude for us. Please join us for a day of great music that we offer to the glory of God!
