Mozart’s famous and beloved “Laudate Dominum” from the Vesperae solennes de Confessore (K.339) is now available as a separate movement with performance material and a vocal score.This melodious setting of the text from Psalm 116 captivates with the simplicity of its soprano solo whose pastoral flavor returns when the words “Gloria patri” are repeated by the chorus.Thanks to its straightforward compositional fabric the soprano solo can easily be sung by a member of the chorus thereby making this effective piece ideal for small church choirs.- Urtext from the “New Mozart Edition”- Straightforward andeasy-to-play piano reduction- Full score parts (BA5339) and vocal score (BA5339-90) available for sale

In its expression and structure the ?Regina coeli? K.108 (74d) in four movements composed in Salzburg in May 1771 clearly shows that Neapolitan church music served as Mozart?s model. The two outer movements in which a primarily homophonic chorus unfolds against a rich orchestral backdrop enclose two soprano arias sparkling with coloraturas of which the first aria has a choral epilogue at the end of each of its two sections. Appositely the last movement also picks up the solo-tutti contrast which in addition underscores the predominant role of the solo soprano characteristic of the entire composition.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionFull score &performance material (BA4886) and vocal score (BA4886-90) for sale
