A versatile Mass setting for use throughout the liturgical year, Mass of the Sun of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia is fully bilingual, singable entirely in English or in Spanish, or any pastoral combination of both languages.   At its core, this setting is built on assembly-minded melodies. Much of the choral writing is two-part, albeit spelled out in four voices, whereby the basses frequently double the soprano melody, and the alto and tenor lines essentially share a single harmony in their respective ranges, splitting only at cadence points for a fuller effect. Optional descants and divisi further expand the voicing possibilities. The additional instrumentation is particularly spirited, further enhancing these sung texts for solemn occasions.   “Sun of justice” is a term used to reference Christ with respect to his second coming, as found in the ancient “O” antiphons. This title appears in the Lectionary among the Alleluia options for the common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is, in fact, assigned to the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebrated within the Advent season. As such, the music is “Advent-like” in nature—joyful and filled with hope.      Una Misa versátil para usar durante todo el año litúrgico, Mass of the Son of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia es completamente bilingüe, se puede cantar completamente en inglés o en español, o en cualquier combinación pastoral de ambos idiomas.   En esencia, este arreglo se basa en melodías para la asamblea. Gran parte de la escritura coral es de dos partes, aunque escrito para cuatro voces, por lo que los bajos con frecuencia duplican la melodía de soprano, y las líneas de alto y tenor comparten esencialmente una sola armonía en sus respectivos rangos, dividiéndose solo en los puntos de cadencia para una melodía más completa. Los discante y divisi opcionales amplían aún más las posibilidades de sonorización. La instrumentación adicional es particularmente animada, mejorando aún más estos textos cantados para ocasiones solemnes.   Sol de justicia es un término que se usa para referirse a Cristo con respecto a su segunda venida, como se encuentra en las antífonas O antiguas. Este título aparece en el Leccionario entre las opciones de Aleluya para el común de la Santísima Virgen María y, de hecho, está asignado a la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, celebrada dentro del tiempo de Adviento. Como tal, la música es en esencia de adviento—alegre y llena de esperanza.

This musically diverse piece, full of great strength and conviction, contains three texts that intertwine: The ancient wise man, Rabban Shim'on ben Gamli'el says: On these three things the whole world stands: justice, truth, and peace. Rav Muna comments on these words by adding: Where justice is done, truth is done, and peace is made. Adding to the peace text is the familiar: Hine ma tov uma naim shevet achim gam yachad. (How good it is for brethren [people] to dwell together in peace.).
