Anthony Payne's Phoenix Mass for chorus and brass ensemble, The World's Winter and Paean. Phoenix Mass was originally to have been a liturgical setting only for school choir but soon turned into something much bigger and more technically demanding. This is the earliest of Payne's acknowledged works that reveals a completely integrated musical character of it's own.
