Mass of St. Barbara/Misa Santa Bárbara

Bobby Fisher was inspired to compose Mass Of St. Barbara after spending time in the parish community of Santa Bárbara in Dededo, Guam. This bilingual Mass setting contains both English and Spanish versions of the Mass parts, but it is especially beautiful when verses from both languages are intertwined as they are on the recording.

Parishes will find that this setting has a wide appeal across generations and cultural backgrounds. The rhythm of the music is very upbeat with a hint of reggae and the tone is joyful as voices are raised together in sung prayer. Both the keyboard and the guitar editions contain choral parts and re-printable assembly editions for inclusion in parish bulletins or other handouts.
