Notes and Editorial Reviews

REVIEW:

"Trinity Mass is possibly a masterpiece worthy to stand comparison with such other 20th-century milestones as Britten's War Requiem, Tippet's A Child of Our Time and The Mask Of Time, Penderecki's St. Luke's Passion, or Nono's Prometeo. Yannatos has cast his net over an incredibly wide range of both music and literature and managed to fuse the results into a unified whole. That in and of itself is remarkable; but beyond that there is a wonderfully personal tone to it all that amplifies both the emotional immediacy and the sense that important things are being said directly and simply, regardless of the enormous forces and the complexity of the apparatus.This is exactly the sort of new American music that should be Read more showing up in our major musical centers."
