Currently one of my favourite choral masses is the Berlinermesse by the modern Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. It is an intoxicating mix of the:
Haunting mysteriousness of Byrd 4;
Ethereal atonality of Messiaen; and the
Lyricism of Rheinberger in Eb.
Bravo Arvo!

Two dozen years,
One too many drinks.
Apprentice of the Hippocratic arts,
On the cusp of entering the real world.
Pleading temporary insanity, permanent inanity.
