school became arriliated
with the Democratic Social­

This was the-cast wi1h 1hc

the Mass is n pinn:tdc or West•

LC students who oucncled 1hr

1101 clann 10 be :,rrcc1cd by this
aspen or Bach's music. but they
,lcfmttely lefi exalted "Bach IS

who lollowcd 1hc ,core 1hrough•
out the perfonnancc ancJ was
s1ruck hy i1s 1mnc:icy.
Which bnngs up an 1mpor•
1.mt poin1 about the inass: It 1s
1cchnk:1lly brilliant. Complctctl
111 several stages between 1732
and I 748, II t> a very difficult
pic,:e to perform bemuse or its
density; possible tempos and ar-
1icul:uions :ire endless. "l have
conduc1cd 1hc Mass three umes
now, and studied ii for hours,
and I'm just bcglnnmg to under•
stand it," said Seeley.
He made scvcml innovations
1his time around. for instance
instructing 1he doublc-b;isscs to
play I hci r line at the opening of
the Credo pi<zic:110, which pro­
pelled the music rrom under•
neath, something he says may
never h;1vc,: been done before. He
nlso dlrcc.:tccl 1he singers 10 use
the same phrasmg as thal or the
acco111p:1nyrng instrumcnt:.i
parts, something cJs:r that has
no1 :.t1ways been t.:onunon pmc•
tkc.
To come up w11h 1hcsc and
01her itlcos Seeley had 10 work
through 16 movcmcms. which
can nil he grouped mto Lhe usuttl

"Bui :'LIi thal docsn·1 mnuer a

brmg II to hl'e :ind make II spcttk
to 1oday·s world." To do 1h1s. the
choir has to be ahlc to feel the
music.
Seeley perfonns the piece ev­
ery ten years, allowing lum :;-.
1horough cligcsuon or each
round and teaching him not only
about the score but :ibout the
rehearsal process: now he knows
how to "let people relax and en•
joy the nn1sic and 1101 be uptight
. and then you can enjoy I he
music because you're above the
tcchmc;1I as peel.·•
Sctley tommcnlcd '11:tt 1he

Berczin, ORS member and LC

"\Vhcn we sLancd, l 1hought,
'this is a huge work,' and I didn't
know ff we had lhc resources to
do It But It all came together­
we peaked at I he right time.·
Solomon Enos, n turrent LC
student and another ORS mtm• bcr, also commented on the chal•
lenge that the Mass presented
"there arc so many sixtt:l'lllh
