“Frank La Rocca’s Messe des Malades does not seek simply to recapture the world of the past — It draws on the traditions of the Catholic church to address today’s needy world. The composer’s intimate understanding of the liturgical text, and extraordinary technical facility and musicality conjoined to create a work of exceptional poignancy. “Masterpiece” is not a word. to be used casually, but to my understand and my ear this Mass stands shoulder to shoulder with the great masterworks of the Renaissance.”
