Growing in popularity across the United States, Mass for Our Lady is a worthy and dignified setting for use at any Sunday Mass. Its melodies are intuitive and assemblies learn the setting quite quickly and easily. Warner and Kirner have joined forces and created a setting that is simple and regal at the same time. More and more parish music directors are ordering this Mass setting and finding their parishioners singing it with vigor. Arranged for SATB choir, cantor, and assembly, the solid and satisfying keyboard parts can be augmented with guitar, string trio, C instrument, and handbells. Mass for Our Lady is proving adaptable in hundreds of parishes, especially those that have access to the additional instruments, specifically on festive occasions like Easter and Christmas, and the seasons and feasts that call for a setting that soars! Parish musicians tell us that it is appropriate in many pastoral settings, from that early Sunday morning Mass with keyboard and cantor to the principal Sunday Mass when all the “bells and whistles” are put to use.

Highlights:

• Intuitive melodies that assemblies learn quickly and easily.

• A simple yet regal setting.

• Greatly adaptable—appropriate for Mass with keyboard and cantor and ideal for principal Sunday Mass with the addition of guitar, string trio, C instrument, and handbells.

• A setting that truly soars during festive occasions like Easter and Christmas.
