Leighton, Kenneth - Missa Christi
The final choral work of Kenneth Leighton, the Missa Christi, will be performed as the Mass setting at St. Thomas Church in New York City tomorrow. (Listen online). If you want to hear the Credo, you're out of luck.
The Missa Christi was commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis in celebration of their sesquicentennial and was completed in 1988, the year of Leighton's death.
The work is an ideal Mass setting for the last Sunday after Pentecost, or "Christ the King" Sunday.
