Written by David Rumsey for Isidor Lombriser, Céline Allemann and the Laufen Choir as a "thank you" for their contributions to his 70th birthday eve concert on 29th March 2009. The choir's generosity enabled David and Elizabeth Rumsey to visit most of Switzerland by train in mid-2009 and this Setting acknowledges the gift in some encryptions of Swiss "musical place names" that they encountered. Hence the "Quintens, Quartens and Terzens" associated with the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei.

Kyrie (Quinten, Quarten)	[KG 50]

Gloria	[KG 75]

Gabenbereitung: Victimae paschali laudes a new setting of the ancient Easter Sequence for Choir, Organ and Soprano

Sanctus	[KG 115]

Agnus Dei (Oberterzen, Unterterzen)	[KG 131]

Each of the four liturgical components is based on a melody from the Swiss "KG" hymnal, intended for congregational use, with choir and organ (obligato), the remainder ad libitum.

This first performance will use the full scoring.
