Mass in Blue by Will Todd is a contemporary fusion of the traditional Latin Mass with elements of jazz and blues. Composed in 2003, it showcases Todd’s innovative approach to choral music, featuring lively rhythms, soulful melodies, and improvisational sections reminiscent of jazz clubs. The piece seamlessly blends sacred and secular elements, offering a fresh and dynamic interpretation of the Mass, while also inviting audiences to engage with its vibrant and accessible musical language.
The Christchurch City Choir’s performance of Mass in Blue will be conducted by Dr John Linker, featuring Helen Charlton, soprano and accompanied by a jazz trio comprising Jeremy Woodside on keys, Michael Story on bass and Douglas Brush on drums.
We’re also excited to be featuring high school jazz ensembles.
