The Leonard Bernstein Suite from. Mass contains the Alleluia, Sanctus, A Simple Song, AgnusDei, Offertory, and Almighty Father. The Michael Sweeney arrangement features a brass quintet and full band. The South Jersey Area Wind Ensemble, directed by Dr. Keith W. Hodgson performed the difficult work at their Festive Fusion: The Art of Joy! concert on December 7, 2025 in the beautiful Atlantic County Institute of Technology Performing Arts Center.
(A short aside: Dr. Hodgson conducted the entire second half of the concert with no vision in his one eye when a contact lens fell out. The show must go on!)
