Transfiguration: An Ecumenical Mass
Samuel Adler

This important work was commissioned for the Service of Dedication for the Church of the Transfiguration at the Community of Jesus on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In keeping with the ecumenical spirit of this setting, Dr. Adler has interpolated other texts into the four sections of Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Agnus Dei. These texts reflect the themes of peace and reconciliation which heighten the expression of the original prayers. The brass quintet and organ are a “fifth voice” always supporting the choir yet providing their own illumination of the texts.Full score and Brass parts also available.
