Mass of Blessed John Henry Newman

Composer and Composition: James Macmillan (2010)

A mass setting commissioned by the Bishops of England and Wales for the UK Visit of Pope Benedict in 2010, 

The Pope’s visit included the Beatification of John Henry Newman,

Meant for thousands of people to sing—even in open air settings, 

Intended for all people to be fully involved—for people in the schola and in the congregation,

Children can especially participate by singing the soprano line of the choral portion (which is the main melody of the congregational part).
