Ariel Ramirez's Misa Criolla (Creole Mass)

At the 9:30 am service the Coventry Choir and soloists will be singing Ariel Ramirez's Misa Criolla (Creole Mass). This mass is in the South American folk tradition with guitar, harpsichord, and multiple percussion instruments. The mass is based on folk genres with Andean influences and instruments. Tenor, Sean McCormac, will be singing in the creole Spanish dialect of the Andes Mountains; the Latin- American guitarist Nathan Arriola is providing authentic accompaniment; and Mattias Villwock will be leading all the percussionists in this very rhythmical music. All are welcome.
