ordinary, mass - a setting of the mass for my voice, electric cello
with effects (Nioka Workman), bass viol (Judith
Davidoff), double lead steel drums (Harvey
Price), electric bass (me) and drumkit
(Tony Lewis). I started putting this together
for ASCAP's "Thru
the Walls" series curated by Martha Mooke. But she only wanted 20 minutes
so I did Kyrie, Gloria and Credo and stopped there. At a later date I will
perform the whole mass. The text is Latin and Greek with vernacular asides.
