Composer NotesThe Gaelic Mass was inspired by hearing, in Ireland, the unique, beautiful, and often contemplative way that the Irish people sing at liturgy. The mass may be sung without accompaniment or embellished with the choral harmonies, keyboard, and other instruments.
Two melodic instrument parts are available. A flute or violin playing the top part and oboe or clarinet on the second work well. Other instruments may sound better in your church.
—Christopher Walker
