The 15 minute Missa alta, a High Mass, is not referred to by this name simply due to its scoring for women's voices and two percussionists, whose instrumentarium produces a crystalline and dreamlike sound. The solemnity of the music, whose compositional compactness and sensual sound elicit a transcendent effect, also reaches heights. Missa alta is a rewarding challenge for all ambitious girls and women's choirs or vocal ensembles, and a true enrichment of the repertoire for services and concerts.
