Missa brevis 'Surrexit Christus'

Enjott Schneider's 'Missa brevis' is based on the medieval Easter chorale 'Surrexit Christus Hodie' the headline of which shapes the melody line like a signature. The basic air is characterized by a ternary rhythm and Easter rejoicing. The mass can be sung throughout the entire year, whenever a cheerful and constructive mood is required in liturgy, and can be performed by a children's choir (girls' choir, boys' choir) or a women's choir, but also soloistically in all variants (e.g. even solo soprano, solo contralto and choir). The organ part is played on three manuals, but can also be performed on a one-manual organ.
