Having listened to both the Rutter Mass of the Children and the Gjielo Sunrise Mass please write a minimum 400-word essay comparing and contrasting the two masses. Consider things like tempo, color, timbre, rhythm, and do your best to describe the music with the musical vocabulary with which you are familiar. If you wish, you may do a bit of research on the history of the musical Mass and compare and contrast the use of text and musical style between the two masses. In general, however, this is an opportunity for you to describe, at a gut level, the different ways the two masses speak to you personally. What is the same, what is different, and consider why each composer may have made the choices they made? Feel free to Google search these masses to see what is written about them, but that is not required. If you gather information from online sources, please site those sources.
