Announcing Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Mass for the Endangered, a co-release with Nonesuch Records
Watch the video for “Sanctus/Benedictus” from Sarah Kirkland Snider's forthcoming Mass for the Endangered, made by Deborah Johnson/CandyStations.
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Mass for the Endangered, the fourth record in a partnership between New Amsterdam and Nonesuch Records, will be released on September 25. Snider’s Mass, with a libretto by poet/writer Nathaniel Bellows, is a celebration of, and an elegy for, the natural world—animals, plants, insects, the planet itself—an appeal for greater awareness, urgency, and action. Originally commissioned by Trinity Church Wall Street, this recording features the English vocal ensemble Gallicantus conducted by Gabriel Crouch.
The six-movement Mass for the Endangered is a rumination on the concept of the traditional Catholic Mass, its fidelity enhanced by Snider’s interpolation of traditional Latin text for the Gloria, Sanctus/Benedictus, and parts of the Kyrie, Credo, and Agnus Dei. pre-order the cd or digital album and pre-save at Spotify today.
