Mass of Peace - English

Mass of Peace

The Mass of Peace is a complete Mass setting faithfully “through composed” to the text of the Church. Each musical phrase follows the natural rhythm and meaning of the liturgy so the words of the Mass remain central.

The setting was written with the structure of the liturgy in mind. Musical phrases in the Liturgy of the Eucharist end on an unresolved IV chord, which naturally flows into the next part of the Mass instead of resolving. This helps the liturgy unfold as one continuous act of worship. The Alleluia and the Great Amen conclude with full harmonic resolution to highlight their role as summit moments of the Liturgy of the Word and the Eucharistic Prayer.

The melodies are clear and singable, helping the whole congregation participate confidently in the prayer of the Mass. Most parishes can learn this setting quickly, and it works beautifully whether led by a single cantor or by a full choir and ensemble.
