This setting of the Mass Ordinary was intended to give a quartet of voices - with the phenomenal abilities of these performers - a concert piece of substance which might compare with, say, a string quartet, and in this way refer back to the medium of a consort of voices largely neglected since Renaissance times. The piece is also ambitious in having been planned in one movement: the text of the Mass, while important, is subsidiary to the way the music unfolds.
