Missa brevis (without Credo), in Latin, this mass is the first one composed by Jean Langlais, in 1935, for the parish choir of the small village of Escalquens (South of France) where the composer used to live in summertime with his first wife family.
Written in a very simple style, it has been published only in 2007, at the occasion of Jean Langlais's birth centenary.
