A Little Jazz Mass pb Cllcott for mixed voices, piano, and optional bass and drum kit Vocal score OXFORDContents 1. Kyrie 5 2. Gloria 13 3. Sanctus 24 4. Benedictus 27 5. Agnus Dei 31 Composer’s note A Little Jazz Mass was originally written for upper voices and was first performed at the 2004 Crescent City Choral Festival, New Orleans, in June of that year. Thave always loved jazz. At the beginning of my writing career I worked from time to time as an arranger for the now defunct BBC Radio Orchestra and, while a member of the King’s Singers, I was lucky enough to perform with such artists as George Shearing, Richard Rodney Bennett, John Dankworth, Art Farmer, and the WDR Big Band. These experiences and influences have all had an impact on the music that I compose. In this mass setting I have written a piano part which may be played exactly as written. However, I would encourage the pianist to improvise freely on the chord structure, and would also encourage the addition of bass and drums and any other instruments that may be appropriate for the performance. Tam grateful to Cheryl Dupont, the conductor of the New Orleans Children’s Chorus, for enabling this work to come to life in such a great jazz city, and to all the children in the Crescent City Choral Festival Choir 2004, who gave it such a great start. | am also gratefull to Neil Richardson, a wonderful musician who, more than twenty years ago, gave me my first opportunity as a professional arranger at the BBC. ‘A notated bass part, with chord symbols, is available to purchase from the publisher (ISBN 978-0-19-335655-9), The original version of this piece for upper voices (SSA) is also available to purchase (ISBN 978-0-19-343328-1), Duration: 12 minutesA Little Jazz Mass BOB CHILCOTT 1.
