Description

“The CD consists of a 37 minute Jazz Mass and a 5 minute piece called ‘Beatus’ (Beatitudes). The Mass includes 55 performers (a jazz ensemble, woodwinds, strings, SATB choir, and soloists). The personnel for the project were drawn from members of the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, the Quintessential Vocal Ensemble, and other notable musicians in the community. The two primary instrumental soloists are John Nugent and Patrick Boyle. Beatus includes vocal soloists Jane Leibel and Jonathan Reed, the choir, rhythm section, and instrumental soloist Bill Brennan.”
