Messe des pauvres

Erik Satie, c. 1895

The Messe des pauvres (Mass for the Poor) is a partial musical setting of the mass for mixed choir and organ by Erik Satie. Composed between 1893 and 1895, it is Satie's only liturgical work and the culmination of his "Rosicrucian" or "mystic" period. It was published posthumously in 1929.[Note 1][Note 2] A performance lasts around 18 minutes.
