Mass Opus 130

for SATB chorus, organ, and optional brass ensemble (2 trumpets, 4 horns, 3 trombones, and tuba)
Jongen's Messe en l'honneur du Saint-Sacrement was written in 1945 to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the inception of the Festival of Corpus Christi. The result is a striking work, with poignant and expressive harmonies, that is very approachable by mixed voiced choirs, and with short solos that can be taken by members of the choir.
