I haven’t reviewed a Mass setting in a long time after the rush of new settings when the words were made worse over a decade ago.
I note Gen Bryant‘s Mass For Youth is topping the sales at Willow, and although I don’t remotely qualify as “youth” I thought for $A10 for downloadable sheet music at Willow, you can’t go wrong, so I’d have a look.
There are also snippets of her singing part of the parts there, but I can find nothing else on the web to hear how she wants them played.
It appears she has been working on this since 2007 looking at the copyright information. Her Kyrie is most singable, which is always a good start.
My backing might be a touch slow, but sing along to see if you could use her mass.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy, Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Nice to see this setting being covered. My only exposure to it is through Fr Rob Galea’s livestreamed Masses during COVID lockdowns. Gen recorded herself playing the Holy, Memorial Acclamation and Lamb of God for the Masses. Looking on YouTube, one among many of the livestreams is https://youtu.be/r5kIHxhPD1I?t=1337, where you can hear her singing. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the lead, Sam.
There is no Gloria in the sheet music and there wasn’t one in the live stream you linked to.
Have you seen her do a Gloria for the mass anywhere?

I hadn’t even noticed that the Gloria was missing! No, I haven’t come across one anywhere. Unfortunately I’ve only seen the setting used in the Fr Rob livestreams, nowhere else.
