The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass. (Sing a New Song Series). By Carol Barnett. Vocal Score. BH Large Choral. 88 pages. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48019834).

The composer hopes that listeners coming from one tradition–classical or bluegrass–and perhaps dubious about the other, might discover something new and wonderful in the combination, as she has. Text by Marisha Chamberlain.
