English-German-French-Dutch.

The Gospel Mass—a mass for mixed choir, combo and concert band—is based on the gospel music that has spread throughout the world since its creation in America. After Missa Brevis and Missa Katharina this is the third mass fromthe pen of Jacob de Haan.
The movements of the mass ordinary as we know it have now been composed in various pop styles that have their origin in the gospel music. We hear, then, not only the classic American gospel style (including thecharacteristic clapping and swing rhythms), but also freer gospel styles that have developed over the course of time. The Credo, for example, is a ballad with rock and funk influences. The Agnus Dei is heard as a slow blues—a genreclosely linked to gospel music. The unique feature of this work, of course, is in the combination of all these pop and gospel elements with the Latin liturgy of the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, which results in abeautiful, cohesive whole. As far as we know, The Gospel Mass is the only true gospel mass.

The Gospel Mass – een mis voor gemengd koor, combo en blaasorkest – is gebaseerd op de gospelmuziek zoals die zich sinds haar ontstaan in Amerika overal in de wereld heeft verspreid en ontwikkeld. Het werk is na Missa Brevisen Missa Katharina de derde mis van componist Jacob de Haan.
De ordinariumdelenzoals we die kennen van een mis, zijn hier gecomponeerd in diverse popstijlen die hun oorsprong vinden in de gospelmuziek. Zo horen we niet alleen deklassiekeAmerikaanse gospelstijl (inclusief hand-clapping en swing), maar ook de vrijere gospelstijlen die zich in de loop der tijd hebben ontwikkeld. Het Credo is bijvoorbeeld gecomponeerd als een ballad, terwijl in andere delen rock- en funkinvloeden zijnverwerkt. Het Agnus Dei klinkt in een slow blues, een genre dat nauw verbonden is met de gospelmuziek. De unieke factor is de combinatie van al deze pop- en gospelelementen met de Latijnse misteksten van het Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictusen Agnus Dei – daarmee ontstaat een fraai, samenhangend geheel. Voor zover bekend is The Gospel Mass de enige echte gospelmis.

The Gospel Mass eine Messe für gemischten Chor, Combo und Blasorchester basiert auf der Gospelmusik, wie sie sich seit ihrer Entstehung in Amerika überall auf der Welt verbreitet hat. Das Werk ist nach Missa Brevis und MissaKatharina die dritte Messe aus der Feder von Jacob de Haan.
Die Ordinariumsteile, wie man sie aus einer Messe kennt, sind hier in diversen Popstilen komponiert, die ihren Ursprung in der Gospelmusik haben. So hören wir nicht nur den klassischen amerikanischen Gospelstil (inklusive Händeklatschen und Swing),sondern auch freiere Gospelstile, die sich im Laufe der Zeit entwickelt haben. Das Credo ist beispielsweise eine Ballade, in der Rock- und Funk-Einflüsse verarbeitet wurden. Das Agnus Dei erklingt als langsamer Blues ein Genre, daseng mit der Gospelmusik verknüpft ist. Der einzigartige Faktor dieses Werkes besteht natürlich in der Kombination all dieser Pop- und Gospelelemente mit den lateinischen Messetexten der Ordinariumsteile Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictusund Agnus Dei, die ein schönes, zusammenhängendes Ganzes ergibt. Soweit bekannt, ist The Gospel Mass die einzige echte Gospelmesse.

The Gospel Mass messe pour chœur mixte, combo et orchestre d’harmonie, fut composée partir du style gospel, qui, depuis ses origines en Amérique, s’est peu peu étendu dans le monde entier. Après Missa Brevis et MissaKatharina, voici la troisième messe signée par le compositeur Jacob de Haan.
Les différents mouvements de la composition de Jacob de Haan s’articulent selon le déroulement d’une célébration liturgique ordinaire. La Gospel Mass comporte divers styles pop qui trouvent leur origine dans la musique gospel. Nous entendonsalors, non seulement le style classique américain des gospels songs (y compris les applaudissements caractéristiques et rythmes swinguant), mais aussi une plus grande liberté d’usage des styles de gospel qui se sont développés au fil du temps. LeCredo, par exemple, est une ballade aux influences rock et funk. LAgnus Dei résonne comme un slow blues - un genre lent étroitement lié la musique gospel. La particularité de cette œuvre réside dans une belle et cohérente combinaisonde tous ces éléments pop et gospel avec le Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus et Agnus Dei de la liturgie latine. Pour autant que nous sachions, The Gospel Mass est la seule véritable messe gospel.

Telemann's Missa brevis on the Christmas hymn Ein Kindelein so lobelich is one of eleven surviving Latin Missae breves based on church hymns. The motetlike composition calls for a mixed choir accompanied by a basso continuo, reinforced by colla-parte instruments. However, the mass can also be performed solely with an organ accompaniment. Gottlob Harrer, the successor to Johann Sebastian Bach as Thomaskantor, performed the mass in Leipzig at Christmas in 1750 and 1751 with an instrumental accompaniment and for this purpose he added two horns. They are included in the present edition as ad libitum parts.
