Commissioned by the CBC in 1988, the Celtic Mass for the Sea has become a contemporary choral classic. It has been performed numerous times since then in Canada, the US and Europe, capturing a cheering standing ovation at Carnegie Hall in New York in 2002 and enthusiastically received by audiences in the UK and Germany. This mass is a unique celebration of the sea’s majesty, ferocity and vitality, with words and music based on Celtic themes. Composed by Scott Macmillan, with libretto by Jennyfer Brickenden, it is a powerfully imagined work for chorus, strings, and Celtic instrumental quintet. Celtic Mass For the Sea was presented at Celtic Colours in 2007 and we’re looking to this encore production presented by Àros na Mara.
