About

Snider's Mass, with a libretto by poet/writer Nathaniel Bellows, is a celebration of, and an elegy for, the natural world - animals, plants, insects, the planet itself - an appeal for greater awareness, urgency, and action. Originally commissioned by Trinity Church Wall Street, this recording features the English vocal ensemble Gallicantus conducted by Gabriel Crouch. The six-movement 'Mass for the Endangered' is a rumination on the concept of the traditional Catholic Mass, its fidelity enhanced by Snider's interpolation of traditional Latin text for the Gloria, Sanctus/Benedictus, and parts of the Kyrie, Credo, and Agnus Dei.

Christmas 2020

Snider’s lucid score is at once powerful and delicate…Vocal ensemble Gallicantus brings vigour, colour and absolute clarity to the score, while the instrumental playing is top notch throughout. This is a luminous and arresting disc that conveys its urgent ecological message with power and beauty.
