Badju Mandadu speaks about the contradance as a choreography. I mention several dance steps: “…Chenenglese, sacaceplace, balance, tranvance, chocecatre turdimen, reste.” The lyrics describe an English dance where people gather socially and have fun together. My intention was to create a lively song suitable for a traditional dance hall. I added contrasting drum patterns to create different dynamics throughout the song but maintained a steady pace for dancers. The piano improvisation section is particularly intense and colourful, and it becomes more active and energetic as the song progresses towards its end, drawing from a Jazz/Blues inspiration.

Lyrics
Bem no junta                     (let's come together)
Ness dança Inglesa            (In this English dance)
Bem no baila                     (let’s dance)
Ba bsca bo par                   (go and get your pair)
Bem balance                     (Come and Balance)
Chocecatre Turdimen 
Sacaceplace
Arrie, Passe
Nos guenti faze attention   (Pay attention, everyone)
Par Avanti a frenti 
Num brinca yo yo 
Nos Guenti faze attention   (Pay attention, everyone)
Ta ruma tud mundu
Brinca yo yo

Faite attention, camare      (Pay attention, everyone…)
Faite attention, Balance     (Pay attention, everyone…)
Faite attention, Tranvance (Pay attention, everyone…)
Sacaceplace, reste 

Faite attention, pass pa frenti (Pay attention, everyone…)
Faite attention, bolta um bez (Pay attention, everyone, turn)
Sacaceplace, classe, reste

Will Todd’s Jazz Missa Brevis gives new life to the sung Latin Mass texts in an accessible, short setting which embraces a variety of jazz styles, from the swinging jazz waltz Kyrie to the up-beat Latin-groove Gloria. The smooth jazz ballad Sanctus, 7/8 Benedictus and soulful Agnus Dei complete this inspiring Mass setting. Underpinned by Todd’s characteristic jazz harmonies and melodic craftsmanship, it is suitable for performance both liturgically and as part of a concert by mixed choirs of all abilities. The work can be accompanied by piano alone (as written or extemporised), jazz trio (piano, bass and drums) or jazz ensemble (alto saxophone, 2 trumpets and jazz trio – parts available separately).

Composer's note:
In writing Jazz Missa Brevis for Portsmouth Cathedral Choir, I have aimed to create simple and lasting music that will work equally well in liturgy or in concert. Drawing on my own piano playing style, all of the movements began life as extended improvisations which I then honed and developed into the completed movements. I hope this ensures that there is a genuine jazz ‘heart’ to each of the sections. In the same way that I would in a jazz gig, I’ve made sure there is a contrast of rhythmic feels between the movements. I hope singers, musicians and conductors will enjoy performing this piece as much as I have enjoyed writing it!
