ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Mass in Blue was commissioned in 2003 by Hertfordshire Chorus and written for Will Todd’s wife, soprano Bethany Halliday. Since that time has become firmly established in the choral repertoire. Mass in Blue is an upbeat jazz setting of the latin mass text for soprano soloist and SATB chorus and has various scoring options.
A wonderful fusion of sacred choral music and jazz, that has become an established part of choral repertoire. It brings the composer’s lifelong love of traditional choral music into the 21st century with spiritual sensitivity and a contemporary edge.
