Jones-Missa Brevis (SP)-V/VX

Scored for mezzo-soprano and vibraphone, Missa Brevis by Brett Jones consists of two short but challenging movements: Kyrie and Gloria, and makes use of Greek and Latin texts. The vibraphone part does not serve merely as accompaniment to the soprano, but rather in many instances displays interesting rhythmic and melodic counterpoint to the sopranos melodic lines. The vibraphone part requires four-mallets and intermediate/advanced technique. This piece offers a unique setting of these texts and would be appropriate both for sacred settings and the concert hall.
