New and Revised Mass Settings Marty has revised two of his most popular mass settings--Mass of Creation and Mass of Remembrance with the new Sacramentary texts, so that communities can continue sing the new texts to well-known and well-beloved music. He has also created a new, accessible and exciting setting, The Storring Mass. It was created for the new texts and it has been sung by the community that commissioned it for over two years and been tested through dozens of reading sessions in Great Britain and the Unitites States. Recordings and scores will be available as soon as permission is given for their use.. To learn more, click here: New and Revised Settings
