I hadn’t been asked to do one of these in performance for a while (the last time I think was when I sang in the chorus in Mahler 8). But there was one at the end of a specially-written descant at the Easter Vigil Mass. The setting was Mozart’s Missa Brevis in G (with strings). As an anthem we sang Mozart’s Regina Cœli. This must have been written under the influence of the Messiah, to judge by the treatment of the Alleluias. One thing in common with the previous day’s Rossini: a female tenor soloist.
So concluded what must be the most memorable (musically) Holy Week/Easter I’ve had.
