Musicology Annotation << Back The New-York Mass by E. Podgaits Martsinkevich A.A. The New-York Mass by E. Podgaits was finished a few days before September 11th of 2001, but its emotional canvas turned out to be concordant to that tragedy. Using a canonical Latin text the composer created a large-scale work devoted to the search of a spiritual anchorage in the modern world. It was an intimate interpretation of the centuries-old musical tradition, that has won for the Mass a well-deserved success. Key words: Podgaits, New-York mass, contemporaneity, tradition.
