Sacred Reflections of Canada – A Canadian Mass

Nominated for a 2016 Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year: Vocal or Choral Performance, Sacred Reflections of Canada is a collection of works by 17 different Canadian composers which have been curated to create the first ever composite Canadian Mass. The Ordinary of the mass is comprised of the following movements – Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Throughout its history the Mass has evolved from chanted settings for liturgical use in worship, to include much more elaborate settings, many written as large-scale concert pieces. Canadian composers from coast to coast have written their own musical settings of these mass movements that reflect the diversity of our country. We have selected mass movements and in between them we’ve included other reflective sacred pieces. From well-established to emerging composers, our Canadian Mass is a showcase for the depth, talent, and diversity of Canadian composers.

This album was produced by Jeff Reilly, engineered by Rod Sneddon, and recorded May 14-17, 2015 at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Kitchener, Ontario. The entire project was made possible thanks to the incredibly generous financial support of friends, family, and fans from across Canada and beyond.
