Title: Mass
Instrument: Mixed choir a cappella
Date of composition: 1979
Duration: 18'30”

Mass was composed when the author was a student at the Royal College of Music in London in 1979. We can see in this work a very simple and effective movement of voices and harmonic structure: In this work a very formal aspect of construction is already anticipated. important in the author's work. This fundamental aspect will be developed in later works such as:Sextet No. 3 for woodwinds and strings, Trilce for orchestra, Two Pieces for Max for soprano and trio of wind instruments and Amor América for low-baritone voice and wind metals. This formal element is (seen at a basic level) in the use of very close intervallic distances between voices or instruments (minimum 2 voices), ie, the voices (or instruments) are related by intervals of second (minor and major).
