Massive: A Mass in Rock
The ‘MASSive’ Choral suite starts with the 'Requiem and Kyrie'; a mysterious thought - provoking piece carefully screening the sound of massed choir which follows. In stark contrast, the 'Miserere Nobis' and 'Sanctus' begin with a minimal theme eventually exploding into rock- driven orchestration allowing the choir to air its full force. The 'Pie Jesu' gently introduces a moment of reflection and rest from the ‘rock forces’ and features a warm and memorable Soprano solo. The choral suite concludes with the 'Gloria and Amen' which releases the full might of the rock guitar pitted against full choir, orchestra and soloist culminating in a climatic fortissimo finale. This album also includes a specially remixed chamber - acoustic version of 'Pie Jesu'.
