Pacific Band, Singers to Perform Jazz Mass
World premiere based
on works of Mary
Lou Williams
Pacific University’s Jazz Band and Chamber
Singers will present the world premiere of anew
arrangement of the only jazz Mass ever commis­
sioned by the Vatican on Saturday, May 8, at
7:30p.m. in McCready Hall in the Taylor-Meade
Performing Arts Center on the college’s Forest
Grove campus.
Mary Lou Williams, whose expressive sa­
cred music was among the first jazz music to be
played in the Catholic Church, originally wrote
“Mass for Peace” for a jazz combo and five
voices. Its new arrangement by Michael Burch-
Pesses, director of bands at Pacific, features a
17-piecejazz band and 24-voice choir.
In his History of Jazz and Rock class at
Pacific, Burch-Pesses teaches his students
about Williams, ajazz icon from the earliest days
of the genre. In 1969, the secretary of the Pon­
tifical Commission on Justice and Peace com-
missioned her to write what would become her
third Mass, which was originally titled "Mass
for Peace.”
Burch-Pesses said Williams was an African-
American woman who didn’t have a recording
contract and who had the bad luck to receive the
commission just when Leonard Bernstein’s
Mass and Jesus Christ Superstar were gaining
fame.
”1 have always thought it a shame that the
piece didn’t get its due and I am delighted to be
bringing it into the light. I am especially pleased
that we will be debuting the arrangement on
what would have been her 94,h birthday," Burch-
Pesses said.
The Mass has 16 movements and lasts 45
minutes. “The first movement is not part of the
Mass,” said Burch-Pesses, "but is a piano pre­
lude that Mary Lou Williams wrote to honor
gospel singer Orlando Wright."
General adm ission for this special perfor­
mance is $5 and $3 for students and senior
citizens. Tickets are available at the door or
in advance through the box office at 503-352-
2918.
Mary Lou Williams made history by
bringing jazz to the Catholic Church.
