To be sure, this account in Vatican Insider could be read to mean that the Mass will be sung as part of the pre-Mass devotions with traditional songs. I will never forget that I heard Mercedes Sosa singing it. When I heard Misa Criolla for the first time I was a student, I think I was studying theology at that time, I canвЂ™t remember well.В I really liked it! I enjoyed вЂњLamb of God,вЂќ which is magnificent. The authorВґs son, Facundo RamГrez, and the singer Patricia Sosa will be performing together with a Roman choir. PeterвЂ™s Basilica on December 12 for the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe:ДЇrancis gave this exclusive interview to LA NACION a few days before a key date: December 12, the day of the festivities of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patroness of Latin America, during which he will say mass at Saint PeterВґs Basilica and during which Argentine musicians will interpret Misa Criolla, composed by Ariel RamГrez 50 years ago. Now the reports on the PopeвЂ™s latest interview, with La Nacion, indicate that this spicy Mass setting from Argentina will be used in St. I recommend the release warmly.Pray Tell reported earlier on Pope FrancisвЂ™ favorite sacred music, the Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez.

The sound is intimate, recorded for the most part in a church in Stowe, Vermont rather than in the more classical confines of the Troy, New York concert hall usually favored by Albany. De CormierвЂ™s interpretation is obviously informed by knowledge of the various national dance rhythms that are the basis for RamirezвЂ™s music, yet there is a sense of honest belief and simplicity presented by the singers. Nevertheless, this is not meant as disrespect for the music, as each of these Ramirez pieces is thoroughly entertaining when listened to separately.Д¬onductor Robert de Cormier and his 16-voice ensemble called Counterpoint (and the additional singers sometimes added to its ranks) produce an ideal soundвЂ“folk-like, with sparingly used vibrato, allowing a purity of intonation that prevents congestion and heaviness from setting in. For all the charm of the melodies and the lilt of the accompaniment, the musical substance is not especially deep. As it is, a certain sameness prevails when all three Ramirez works are listened to in order. The whole of the first two pieces and four movements of the latter Mass are included here, and the decision to add an assortment of five short folk-derived choral settings was a good one. In 1980, in his Misa por la paz y la justicia (Mass for Peace and Justice), he used the same style to protest repression by the Argentine military government. Ramirez continued to work in this style, immediately capitalizing with Navidad Nuestra (Our Christmas), which became popular in South America. It wasnвЂ™t just the hi-fi friendly percussion that made it popular: the choral writing itself is bright, optimistic, and never stuffy, and there is an attractive, unpretentious spiritual quality. This songful choral music, accompanied by upbeat native percussion and some harmony and melody instruments such as harps and guitars, was immediately popular when it appeared on LP in North America and Europe. He hit big with his 1964 Misa Criolla (Creole Mass, meaning mass in the style of South American cultures that arose in the mixture of Iberian and Indian). 1921) spent his 20s traveling widely in his native Argentina, absorbing various elements of folk music, particularly those that related to popular dance forms. This splendidly-performed and -recorded disc offers substantial entertainment and uplift.
