Music for the
New Mass Translation
This deeply moving and traditional
composition for the Mass is music for the New Roman Missal,
(USCCB), the new translation of the Mass that will be in use by next
fall in U.S. churches. It was recorded at St. Joseph Church in
Shelton, CT using the two manual Austin Organ, with the assistance
of St. Joseph's Little Schola, guest singers, and a wealth of
prayers from faithful friends. The full scoring was made using
Finale and patiently transcribed by Douglas R. Simms, MMus.
