Stravinsky's Mass is a famous modernist setting of the Roman Catholic liturgy by an Eastern Orthodox composer. George Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children, long regarded as a pivotal composition, is a song setting for nine performers of poems by Pablo Neruda and features unique elements such as toy piano, musical saw, and special inside-the-piano effects.
