He shares a certain dryness, and a dislike for sensual elements in his music, with such other Swiss composers as Honneger and Martin. In fact, his early works reject harmonic considerations almost entirely, in favor of contrapuntal techniques; although his later work represents a softening of this attitude. The “Mass” for soprano, bass, chorus, and small orchestra, written in 1951, is one of his most mature works...
