Mass

Album by Leonard Bernstein & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Yannick Nézet‐Séguin

Mass is a theatre piece by American composer Leonard Bernstein, composed and premiered in 1971. The work fuses the structure and texts of the Roman Catholic Mass with a wide range of musical styles, including classical, Broadway, jazz and rock, producing a hybrid theatrical score that reflects Bernstein's late-career interest in blending sacred ritual with contemporary popular idioms.
First released: 16th March 2018
