Composed in 2017 for Innsbruck, Austria, the "Missa Honorificentia Populi Nostri" is a "Missa plenaria," that is, one that sets to music (for SATB chorus) the Ordinary of the Mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) as well as all the Propers (Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, and Communion). It is written, broadly speaking, in a neo-Renaissance or Cecilian style.
The Ordinary of the Mass may be performed independently of the Propers; indeed any of the movements may be sung as liturgically suitable.
(Please note that the Kyrie displayed here, and included in the final version of the Mass, is not the one that the Mass started out with. That has now been detached and is available as Kyrie IV. This Kyrie does "double duty" in the present Mass as well as the Missa Spe Salvi.)
