“Missa in jazz”. The first performance in Ukraine!

“MISSA IN JAZZ”.

“Missa in jazz”. The first performance in Ukraine! Complete performance of the work. In 2023, I was invited to play the saxophone solo in “Missa in jazz” by the German composer Peter Schindler! The task was not easy, because the essay is very long! Only 1 hour and 20 minutes of total sound.

“Missa in jazz” is modern music and according to the intention of the author, it was necessary to improvise quite a lot! As they say, a good improvisation is a well-prepared improvisation! Sh sht, for two months I prepared my saxophone part, practicing every day, and on weekends for five hours a day. Played and thought carefully about his solo! Once a week he came to a general rehearsal with the team.

Composer Peter Schindler in “Missa in jazz” has the idea of using elements of jazz – improvisation and pulsating rhythm – to approach the familiar musical language of the 21st century. Since its premiere, “Miss in Jazz” has caused such enthusiasm that it is still performed in Germany in various ensembles. With this composition, Peter Schindler opens completely new approaches to the texts of Latin masses, which have relied on music again and again throughout the history of music (Bach’s Mass in B minor, Beethoven’s Great Mass,…).
