Spatzenmesse (C)-This Mozart Mass together with BA7520 and BA7521 has been arranged for solo voices chorus and organ from the Urtext of the “New Mozart Edition” thereby making them accessible in all their beauty to choruses and church choirs with limited financial means at their disposal. Martin Focke has based the “concertante” Organ parts on the orchestral writing doing full justice to the timbre of the original. The solo parts and choruses of course leave the Urtext of the “New Mozart Edition” entirely untouched. The “Sparrow Mass” is one of the most significant pieces of church music fromMozart’s years in Salzburg. Thanks to its clarity and largely homophonic texture it remains even today a work that is easily mastered in church and concert hall performances. Self-contained version with Organ instead of Orchestra Straightforward and easy-to-play Organ part Ideal for church services and concert performances

Tonalité : C-Moll - Kv 427. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Mass in C minor, K. 427, Mozart's 'Great Mass' remaines a torso - a circumstance which is extremely regrettable, especially given the monumentality of this work. Mozart finished only the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, 'Osanna', and Benedictus of the Mass. For two movements from the Credo he only completed sketches without instrumentation. In March 1785 Mozart arranged Kyrie and Gloria, supplemented by a tenor and a soprano aria, for the Italian oratorio 'Davide penitente'. In his arrangement of the Mass in c minor, Richard Maunder added Creed wind and brass instruments to the Credo sketches. Mozart's Missa in C for SATB.

Mozart?s Requiem has entered the realm of myth. This is surely the best-known of all sacred choral works and is performed all over the world. Now a new version for solo voices chorus and organ allows this legendary masterpiece to be performed without orchestra and thus without strain on the budget.

Edited with additional material from the Salzburg version“In Italy nowadays this term (motet) is applied to a Latin sacred solo cantata consisting of two arias and two recitatives concluding with an Hallelujah and sung during the Mass following the Credo generally by one of the best singers.” One composition matching this description is the solo motet Exsultate jubilate K. 165/158a which Mozart wrote in Milan early in 1773 following the highly successful performance of his opera Lucio Silla.In 1978 when the music manuscripts in Bavaria were being sorted and cataloged in a project sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft a set ofmanuscript parts for a previously unknown second version was discovered in the town parish church of St. Jakob in Wasserburg am Inn. The music and text of the concluding Alleluja movement were written out by the Salzburg court bassoonist and copyist Joseph Richard Estlinger (c. 1720–1791) who frequently worked for Mozart and his father.The vocal text of this Salzburg manuscript departs from that of the Milan version in the first aria and in the recitative. It was entered in a different hand. The Salzburg version of the text is clearly related to the feast of the Holy Trinity. There is much evidence that this version was sung for the first time in the Dreifaltigkeitskirche on 30 May 1779 (i. e. Trinity Sunday) by the Salzburg male soprano Francesco Ceccarelli during a service mentioned by Nannerl Mozart. On that day Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart together with Ceccarelli were invited to the church’s vicarage at midday. The additional text underlaying of the first aria enabled the solo motet to be employed for the Christmas service as well.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4897) and vocal score (BA4897-90) available for sale

The offertory “Misericordias Domini” K.222 (205a) has a special place among Mozart’s minor ecclesiastical works. A letter from Wolfgang to Padre Martini dated 4 September 1776 informs us that the piece was written in January or February 1775 in Munich at the request of the Prince Elector of Bavaria and was performed there on 5 March. Drawing closely on the carefully wrought works of Mozart’s Salzburg predecessors and incorporating a motif from Johann Ernst Eberlein’s “Benedixisti Domine” this contrapuntal masterpiece unites polyphony with expressive tension-laden harmonies. Unfortunately as the copy sent to Padre Martinicannot be located in Bologna the authenticity of the viola part is still open to question.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4789) and vocal score (BA4789-90) available for sale.

Credo and Sanctus reconstructed and completed by Helmut Eder.Mozart began work on this ambitious setting of the Mass text in 1782 and there has been much speculation as to the reasons why it was abandoned unfinished.

At the moment in 1777 when Mozart wrote this disarmingly simple offertory motet both he and his father had been dismissed from their employment in Salzburg by the Archbishop and Mozart was on the point of leaving his home to seek employment elsewhere. It has been suggested that it was written in supplication to the Virgin for safe travel at the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary but what is certain is that this delightful piece remains a vibrant work in the repertoire.Sancta Maria was originally written for Violins Viola Cello and Organ and is here presented with a Piano reduction.

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

Mozart's short (46 bar) motet celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi was composed in 1791 while in the middle of writing his opera Die Zauberflöte. Scored for SATB chorus strings and organ lasting only about 3 minutes its serene simplicity makes it universally popular and it is considered to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

La plupart des arias de cette collection font partie du répertoire standard de solistes de renom, et c'est vraiment grâce à eux que les opéras auxquels ils appartiennent sont devenus célèbres. C'est sans doute vrai des airs tels que Lascia ch'io pianga, Ombra mai fu et Caro Mio Ben. Dans Coro Mio Ben, Gwyn Arch a créé de nouveaux arrangements d'oeuvres et ces plus de Haendel, Mozart, Verdi et d'autres compositeurs, et donc ouvert ce genre musical à un public entièrement nouveau. Les accompagnements de piano sont largement tournée vers les originaux. Comprend 2 CD avec 18 enregistrements complets chorales et 10 pistes d'accompagnement de piano. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

The Missa Brevis by Mozart was written in 1774 for an unknown occasion but it has been suggested that the basilica of St Maria Plain near Salzburg was its intended recipitent. A powerful and attractive work which is ideal for a liturgical context as well as in the concert hall. This full vocal score for Missa Brevis contains the complete setting for full mixed SATB choir with Piano accompaniment and solo passages for sections of the Gloria Credo Benedictus and Agnus Dei.
