The Southern Institute of Technology has produced its own small slice of heaven – a mass approved by the Catholic Church.
The mass was composed by the head of SIT’s music department, Peter Skerrett, and has been accepted as an official piece of music for the church.
Mr Skerrett said the piece was composed in a four-part harmony for choirs with soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections.
He said most masses in the Catholic Church were typically based on classical pieces from the likes of Beethoven but he tried to work in more contemporary elements. “The possibility exists for me to take what I have [written] and easily make it a rock mass.”
