Man that is
born of woman hath but a
short time to live is one
of the central biblical
texts dealing with the
transitoriness of human
existence. Leopold
Hofmann, Kapellmeister at
St. Stephen's Cathedral
in Vienna from 1772 to
1793, where W. A. Mozart
was his church music
assistant, also set this
strongly expressive text.
Hofmann's setting, in C
minor, offers an austere
harmony, characterized by
suspensions in a
homophonic,
through-composed
four-part vocal setting
(soloists or SATB choir),
reinforced only by two
trombones and organ
continuo. Four concise
instrumental transitional
passages between the
individual verses relieve
the pathos laden Viennese
church style of this
composition. With its
tragic air, in some
passages it closely
resembles Mozart's
Requiem K. 626. For this
first edition, the two
trombone parts are
available both in the
original clef and in alto
clef. The figured bass
has been realized so that
the piece can also be
performed without
trombones, with only
organ accompaniment. For
a performance this piece
could easily be combined
with the Salve Regina by
Pietro Cassati (Carus
27.703) from the Vienna
series. Score available
separately - see item
CA.2770500.
