My intro music theory professor used to say "with good voice-leading, you can go anywhere". Poulenc really proves him right.

And the way he orchestrates the choir. Having the tenors repeat a baritone line to change the texture. Just astounding.

If you like this you should try Hindemiths Six Chansons. Same deal. Incredible sounds through pretty conservative looking voice leading. P.s. sorry im 2 years late.

The men & boys' choir I sang in in Indianapolis sang this piece at Notre Dame, Paris. Some guy brought out a microphone on a stand for the boy singing the Agnus Dei intro. The kid was insulted, and belted out that solo so it fed back the sound system. The mike was removed, and he went on to utterly own the building.

Probably my favourite Mass ever, and one of my all-time favourite Poulenc works. It should definitely be more performed (if there are choirs up to the challenge...!)

I love Poulenc and I love this work. I performed it in college and it was a bitch to sing, but hearing it here, I want to sing it again.

Lawrence Rush I have just heard this piece for the first time today. It is quite a contrast to Erik Satie's Mass For The Poor but moving nontheless.

I sing in the "Coro Alberto Ginastera" (before called "Coro del Conservatorio de Música de Morón"), conducted by Roberto Saccente, from Buenos Aires (Argentina), and we recorded this "Mass in G major" in 1996, with other choral contemporary music, from different composers. It was the most difficult work in our choral history, but it is a very beatiful version. Search it and enjoy it!!!

Your comment is surely a bit of an overstatement. As Poulenc himself pointed out, there is considerable stylistic continuity between his sacred and secular choral works (he was referencing the choral sections of his comic opera LES MAMELLES DE TIRESIAS and his STABAT MATER). This interplay of the Here-and-Now and the Eternal flows both ways, and is an intrinsic part of his greatness as a composer.

Ferroud was a fellow composer, and a talented one. At the time of his tragic death, was he also, or had he been in an intimate personal relationship with Poulenc? I've never read that anywhere, so I'm not sure where your comment comes from.
