The Missa Brevis, Op. 44 is for three-part Women's Chorus and Organ. Its movements are: Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnes Dei. The Credo is omitted. The style is richly tonal with some modern American elements, especially in the Sanctus. The musical and technical demands on both the chorus and the organ are considerable, but well within the capabilities of a good university chorus.
It was commissioned in April 1977 by Luard Egbert and the Virginia Intermont College Women's Chorus, and was first performed by them on May 5 of that year in Bristol, Virginia.
