About the Work Missa Festiva began in 1987 with the commission of a festival piece for the International Choral Symposium in Kansas City, Missouri. The Sanctus (“Festival Sanctus”) of this Mass was the result of that commission. Other parts of the Ordinary followed—the Kyrie and Agnus Dei. The Gloria was finished in the fall of 1990. The Credo, the centerpiece of the Mass which weds the work together, was completed in the spring of 1991. At that time, the separate movements were assembled and orchestrated. More recently, on the 20th anniversary of “Festival Sanctus,” I began working on a new orchestration for the work. The result of that effort also yielded several new voicings of the various movements. The outer movements, Kyrie and Agnus Dei, are set in a lyric, neo-romantic style that features modal inflection. The inner movements, Gloria and Sanctus, are set in a rhythmic, ebullient style, featuring mixed meters and syncopation. The middle movement, Credo, uses ancient chants to distinguish the three persons of the Trinity. While this work does not purport to be a liturgical Mass, it uses texts from the Ordinary, both altered and unaltered, to conscribe to musical considerations. These Latin texts, time honored through many centuries, are embraced for their richness and provide a vehicle for excellent choral singing.
About the Composer John Leavitt currently serves as Director of Choral Activities and Professor of Music at MidAmerica Nazarene University. An extraordinary composer, performer, and clinician for church and school music literature, Dr. Leavitt continues to teach, lecture, and guest conduct numerous workshops, festivals, and symposia. He has served as a regular guest conductor in major venues throughout the United States, including New York’s Carnegie Hall and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Dr. Leavitt’s compositions are represented in nearly every major music catalog. His music is regularly featured on public radio stations and has been performed in more than 30 countries across the world. In March of 2003, Dr. Leavitt received the Kansas Artist Fellowship Award from the Kansas Arts Commission for his contributions to music composition. In 2010, he was the recipient of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpieces, which partnered with the Kansas Arts Commission and the Kansas Music Educators Association to commission a new choral work by Dr. Leavitt in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the State of Kansas. He was honored with the MNU Presidential Award, Faculty Member of the Year for 2011, an award voted upon by his peers. Dr. Leavitt was also honored with the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music Alumni of the Year Award for 2012.
