Aguava New Music Ensemble

lyrics

John Eaton's Mass for six voices and instruments with electronic processing received its world premiere on March 1st, 1998 with Carmen Tellez conducting soloists from the Contemporary vocal ensemble n Auer Hall of the School of Music at Indiana University. It was immediately hailed by the critics as a work of fascinating emotiional expression and idiosyncratic complexity. According the the composer:

"The Kyrie begins with a single note and its overtones, a kind of ground of being. The first soprano enters a 1/4 tone sharp against this, implying that the human soul is a misfit in cretin, if yo like. After a plea to Christ, the Kyrie returns. The ground reaches up to incorporate the 1/4 step, but the soprano moves up another 1/4 steps to maintain the dissonance. The second part of the Kyrie is an anguished plea for salvation.

"In the Gloria, through amplified vocal clicks and percussion, a picture emerges of all the atoms of Creation bubbling up t worship the Creator."
