Mass In Honour Of Divine Mercy

Eugene Kum C.’s "Mass In Honour Of Divine Mercy" is a complete English Mass setting originally composed to mark the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy (2015–2016). It provides a unified musical journey through the liturgy, carrying the choir and congregation from the solemn, recitative-like opening of the Kyrie all the way to the gentle, pleading Agnus Dei.

What makes this setting particularly useful for the choir loft is its inclusion of the Pater Noster (Our Father) and a dedicated sung response for the Prayer of the Faithful. The Gloria moves with a fast, joyful energy in 8/8 time, lifting the mood of the Mass, while the Sanctus shifts into a bright, presto 3/4 rhythm that gives the "Hosanna" a lively, triumphant feel.

Singing a unified Mass setting like this helps anchor the congregation in the flow of the liturgy. The melodies are straightforward and deeply reverent, making it an excellent choice for ordinary Sundays as well as special feast days dedicated to the Divine Mercy.
