Music Composer – Remote

A unique opportunity is available for a skilled music composer to create a Renaissance-style Mass specifically arranged for two equal voices. The project involves composing a complete Mass setting, including the Kyrie (1–2 minutes), Gloria (3–4 minutes), Sanctus (1–2 minutes), Benedictus (2 minutes), and Agnus Dei (1–2 minutes). The composition should authentically reflect the Renaissance tradition, drawing inspiration from masters such as de Lassus, Du Fay, Des Prez, and Palestrina.

The finished work will be performed by a men’s schola, providing a valuable addition to the limited repertoire for this vocal configuration.
