Missa Santa Cecilia
About Missa Santa Cecilia
This Latin mass for choir and wind band was composed in honour of Saint Cecilia’s feast day, Saint Cecilia being the patroness of musicians. For this reason, many ensembles have annual concerts dedicated to Saint Cecila, which was the inspiration for this piece. It is a festive, optimistic, but also comforting work, which in style perfectly suits the character of Saint Cecilia’s Feast Day. Of course, this mass can be performed at any time of the year.
After Missa Brevis, Missa Katharina and The Gospel Mass, Missa Santa Cecilia is the fourth published mass by Jacob de Haan.
