Through recontextualized Bach arias, Caroline Shaw’s Mass, and religious ritual, Tines invites listeners to explore human existence and spirituality in his Mass No. 1. Woven into this performance are arrangements of spirituals by Tyshawn Sorey, Moses Hogan, and Margaret Bonds, as well as Julius Eastman’s powerful a cappella work, Prelude to The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc. 

Praised in The New Yorker, critic Alex Ross commends The Mass’ ability to "traverse multiple centuries and worlds" while grounding audiences with "the taut resonance of one voice: a timbre at once grand and fraught, potent and vulnerable."
