I've particularly loved our 5th Wednesday Devotional Chant Services and how they've grown and developed over the last couple of years and I've been frustrated not to be able to fulfill the numerous requests for recordings of these wonderful evenings of music due to copyright law. So it was in the interest of not only adding to our growing body of original musical works, specific to our beliefs, but also writing something for which I would own the copyright (therefore being able to give permission for it to be recorded and distributed at some point) that I started to concieve of a Kirtan Mass. So what is a Kirtan Mass you ask? Well - it's my best attempt at a title for a through composed (meaning non-stop) set of five Kirtan style call and response chants, each based on a step of Spiritual Mind Treatment, our form of Prayer.
