As a boy soprano in 1963, I sang this wonderful Mass for Christmas Eve in my local church choir. It was an overwhelmingly beautiful experience, and has led me to a life of music. I have never heard it performed since then (I think we sang it again in 1964, but by that time, Vatican II had done its damage, and our lovely Latin Masses were a thing of the past). Thanks for posting; nice job, guys. LR
The complete mass setting is available online free of charge. I printed out copies from there a couple of years ago for a special mass. When I find it again, I will post the web address. It's Pietro Yon's "Missa Regina Pacis in honor of St. Vincent Ferrer." This is one my all-time favorites. I go crazy at the fugal treatment of "cum Sancto Spiritu ..." at the end of the Gloria and again at the "et vitam ..." at the end of the Credo. I have to sing along, I can't sit still!
Sang this in our choir over 20 years ago... I am litterally bawling here. I have always loved this Mass... If someone can tell me were to find it, either sheet music or CD please let me know.
Me recuerda mis años de seminario en Mallorca. Tengo ahora 86

Beautifully performed. Love it! I remember singing this Mass SATB years ago.
Esta misa es muy bella. No sé porqué nuestro director la mandó al archivo muerto.

This Mass has the most gorgeous Benedictus and Agnus Dei I hav eever heard!

HERMOSISIMO
Pietro Alessandro Yon... Un compositore italiano che nel mondo é stato più apprezzato che in patria.
Missing the soprano and alto parts though...
Pietro Yon also arranged this Mass setting for TTB and Orchestra (organ).
