Mass in G minor

Album by Ralph Vaughan Williams & Kenneth Leighton & Herbert Howells & Bernard Rose & William Harris & Jonathan Harvey & Choir of New College Oxford & Edward Higginbottom

Mass in G minor is a choral composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams, composed in 1921. The compact Mass draws on modal harmonies, plainchant‑inspired melodies and Tudor polyphonic textures to create a restrained liturgical sound that reflects Vaughan Williams's interest in English early music and his developing focus on modal and folk‑inflected choral writing.
