Mass for the Endangered is a celebration of, and an elegy for, the natural world—animals, plants, insects, the planet itself—an appeal for greater awareness, urgency, and action. Originally commissioned by Trinity Church Wall Street, the piece, in its first recording, released on New Amsterdam and Nonesuch Records in 2020, features the English vocal ensemble Gallicantus conducted by Gabriel Crouch. You can get and hear the album here and watch the video for "Alleluia" by Deborah Johnson/ CandyStations below:
