Music has occupied a privileged place in religious ceremonies from the origins of Christian rites until today, revealing an inseparable musical-liturgical relationship consequently showing a perfect symbiosis between tradition and the avant-garde. The Mass is the predominant musical form of the Catholic Church and therefore, looking retrospectively at the many examples throughout history we can see that they lay the basis for the compositions of today. This is due, firstly, to its functional character, guaranteeing its existence as a response to a celebratory need that continues to this day, and secondly, to the symbolic burden implicit in it, taken by many authors as a source of inspiration for musical creation. Given these characteristics, this form has been subjected to a process of development and adaptation to the changing aesthetics, the precepts determined by the Church governing sacred music and the expressive needs of the composers. The Commemoration Mass (2009) by Emilio Coello, a composer of Canarian roots based in Madrid, is a work of interest in the process of evolution of the Mass, in which the structure of a corpus of preexisting texts is reinforced musically using an innovative language characterized by the disintegration and reconstruction of a multiplicity of techniques and compositional resources that converge in what we have called Stilus mixtus of the 21st century. The intention of this article is to show the dialectic of a liturgical musical composition of today as an associative link of dissimilar aspects: innovation and tradition.
