| Description: |  A Little Jazz Mass: Bob Chilcott: A Little Jazz Mass Will Todd: Mass in Blue Bristol Choral Society Hilary Campbell Conductor Vanessa Bowers: Soprano Laim Dunachie Jazz Trio Let yourself be transported to a different musical world this autumn. Accompanied by a jazz trio, Bristol Choral Society presents two jazz versions of the mass. Bob Chilcotts A Little Jazz Mass (2004) is a highly original and effective concert setting of the Latin Missa brevis in which the various movements embrace a variety of jazz styles. Carrying on the theme, Will Todd’s popular Mass in Blue (2003) for soprano, choir and jazz ensemble also blends two different traditions: that of a sung Mass, one of the oldest forms of European music and that of the blues. |
