Buckfast Abbey Choir
Messe Modale: Upper Voices Music For Mass By Alain
CD
ABOUT THE ALBUM
This recording from the sopranos and altos of Buckfast Abbey Choir captures the unique sound world of upper voices for the Mass. Drawing on repertoire from a short, yet vibrant, period in early twentieth-century France, the program showcases Masses by Gabriel Fauré, Jehan Alain, and Jean Langlais, three significant figures in the evolving tradition of French church music. These works are interspersed with Gregorian chants in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patron of the Abbey Church at Buckfast, in whose radiant acoustic this album was recorded. Fauré's Messe basse, with it's intimate lyricism, is paired with a contemporary Gloria by David Davies. Alain's Messe modale en septuor reveals his rhythmic vitality and chant-inspired style, while Langlais' Missa in simplicitate embodies an effortless spiritual purity. Rooted in the Benedictine tradition - restored at Buckfast by French monks in 1882 - and French inspiration, this album offers music of beauty, simplicity, and prayerful intensity.
