Additional info/contents	Mass of the Children represents something new in the composer’s work insofar as it was conceived with an integral role for a children’s choir alongside an adult mixed choir, two soloists, and orchestra (now band). The role of the children’s choir is to add a further dimension to the traditional Latin Mass sung by the adult choir, sometimes commenting, sometimes amplifying the meaning and mood. As with so many of John Rutter's compositions, words are only a part of the focal point. His musical understanding, sense of melody, harmony and orchestration are often fully capable of telling the story even without the text. This arrangement is written so that it may be performed with or without the voices. Complete work (5 movements) available here. Vocal score available here.
