Vocal Works
Missa Domini Pastoris (2024)
Instrumentation: SATB Choir, Vocal Soloist, Organ, and Harp
Duration: 17 min.
​
Missa Domini Pastoris translates to "Mass of the Lord the Shepherd" and was named because of the title of God as shepherd. I decided to write a setting of the Mass for my senior capstone project because of my personal faith. I have been a Christian for 16 years, but in college I found the Catholic Church and was overwhelmed with truth and beauty. I
joined the church during Easter 2023 and wrote Missa Domini Pastoris as an expression of my devotion and passion.​​​

Text:
Ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo. In Deo laudabo sermones meos in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
—Vulgate
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me?
—New Revised Standard Version
