Easy setting of Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Agnus Dei with a number of caecilianistic influences in its imitation of stylistic elements of the classical vocal polyphony (see especially the Gloria). Some sections are marked as "Solo". These sections require no virtuoso technique and thus can be easily sung by accomplished singers from the choir, optionally with more than one to a part.
There is also an organ accompaniment available from all-sheetmusic.de. The accompaniment in particular improves the effect of Kyrie and Agnus Dei. If no organ player or no organ is available, the setting can however alternatively be sung a capella.
