On 13th February 2003, Mass of the Children was premiered in Carnegie Hall, New York. The text of the piece is that of a standard Latin Missa Brevis, to which several relevant English poetic texts have been added.
Mass of the Children was written in response to a desire to compose a work that would bring children and adults together, in the same way that performances of Britten’s War Requiem had done for John when he was a school chorister.
