9790007294243. Key: D
minor. Latin. The
English conductor and
composer Howard Arman has
presented us with a
completed version of
Mozartâ??s Requiem.
â??Another one?â? you
might ask, since this
publication is only the
latest in a long line
reaching back to the
traditional Sü�mayr
version. Yet such is the
enormous power of
Mozartâ??s score that
the challenge and appeal
of completing it remain
undiminished. After two
decades of intensive
study, Howard Armanâ??s
additions to Mozartâ??s
great original show the
requisite care and
respect while
incorporating many new
insights.
Armanâ?
?s approach is
particularly fruitful.
Always aware of the
appropriate limits to
such re-creative work, he
orients himself towards
the typical
characteristics of
Mozartâ??s brilliant
composing style: The
masterly compositional
technique, the search for
innovative solutions to
every problem, and even
the terse treatment of
the text with extremely
suggestive harmonies. All
of this leads to a number
of new listening
experiences. In the Tuba
mirum, for example, we
enjoy a warm, cohesive
ensemble sound, supported
by the bassoons, which
depart from the bass
line. The Confutatis
presents a quite
different picture: Even
the basset horns are
drawn down into the
infernal depths. This
effect is reinforced by
the independence of the
trombones; rather than
simply following the
choral parts, the
instrumentâ??s unique
sound is given an
opportunity to shine.
Armanâ??s Lacrimosa
achieves a lively
Mozartian feel by
granting the voices
considerable freedom
rather than following a
rigid pattern. And he
concludes the movement
with a fugal Amen,
whereby the focus is not
so much on the
counterpoint itself, but
rather â?? in the spirit
of Mozart â?? on
creating a sense of drama
and illuminating the
theme in all its possible
facets. Mozartâ??s
fragment ends with the
Hostias, and so does
Armanâ??s completion.
For the four
following movements
(Sanctus to Communio) we
have nothing from Mozart,
and so here, where the
master is silent, Arman
finally returns to
Sü�mayr, the man who
was closest to Mozart at
the time of his death and
whose efforts to fill the
blank manuscripts still
garner our respect
today.
Armanâ??s
version has already
proven its practical
value. The premiere with
the Bavarian Radio Choir
was enthusiastically
received by audiences and
press alike â?? and
celebrated as offering a
scholarly, entirely fresh
perspective on
Mozartâ??s
masterpiece.

9790007239718. Key: C
minor. Latin. A
mass setting by Robert
Schumann? This is still
likely to cause surprise
among audiences –
after all, Schumann is
not generally viewed as a
sacred composer. Indeed,
his little-known late
work, the Missa sacra,
Op. 147, is a discovery
not just for listeners
but often for the
performers themselves.
The mass combines an
acute fascination with
sacred liturgy typical of
Schumann’s time
with the pragmatism of
its intended use by a
local choral society. The
composer employs his
considerable skills to
create a captivating and
varied score that is
almost ethereal in the
Kyrie, leading to
passages of an intimate
and lyrical piano that
alternate with fortissimo
for words of praise,
while always displaying
the utmost sensitivity
and a delight in
dissonance. The composer
declared his setting to
be “fashioned with
great loveâ€.
The demanding
orchestral mass can be
realized with limited
means. The solo parts can
be filled from the choir.
The work, which the
composer himself did not
have published, is here
reissued on the basis of
Schumann’s partial
autograph score.
Carus has also
produced an arrangement
of the work for choir &
organ, enabling
performances without
orchestra in smaller
venues (Carus
