Missa Gaia/Earth Mass
A Celebration of Mother Earth
Composed by Paul Winter, Jim Scott, Paul Halley, Kim Oler, and Oscar Castro-Neves
©1981 with the voices of Humpback Whale, Tundra Wolf, and Harp Seal

 
Originally performed by the Paul Winter Consort, Missa Gaia is a contemporary ecumenical and ecological Mass celebrating the Earth. The work features the Consort’s trademark lyrical melodies with dynamic rhythms from African, Brazilian and American Gospel traditions. The work incorporates traditional Mass and Biblical texts with the voices of wolf, whale and harp seal. This publication contains newly edited and revised versions of the seven original choral movements set for mixed choir and keyboard with optional instrumental parts for soprano saxophone, cello, oboe/English Horn, guitar, bass, organ and percussion, enabling Missa Gia to be performed in both liturgical settings and concert halls.
