In the beginning of the 21st century, the development of the technology and the transportation makes cultural exchange and musical activities more active. Choral composers also seek new ways to express themselves through their brilliant works. Bob Chilcott is a comtemporary composer and choral conductor from England. His musical works are full of passion and lyric melodies and has become very popular in the past ten years.
A Little Jazz Mass was commissioned by Cheryl Dupont, the conductor of the New Orleans Children¡¦s Chorus, and first performed in the 2004 Crescent City Choral Festival. This work is a fusion of Jazz and Classical music. This 12-minutes long mass includes five short sections: Kyrie, Gioria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei. Chilcott blended the Blues and the Swing into a traditional mass frame, and made A Little Jazz Mass different to the traditional mass works.
The thesis consists of five chapters. The chapter one is the introduction. Chapter two discusses the background of this work: Chilicot¡¦s life, the development of Missa Brevis and the style of Jazz. Chapter three analyzes A Little Jazz Mass, including the background and the details in this musical work. Chapter four focuses on the interpretation of this work and the rehearsal technique of approaching this piece. Chapter five is the conclusion.
