Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Venite Populi In D Major: Mixed Choir: Vocal Score

The 0ffertorium de venerabili sacramento “Venite populi” à 2 Chori K. 260/248a – dated Salzburg 1767 by Mozart in his autograph score – clearly reveals a striving for more pronounced contrapuntal work. A short homophonic central movement is framed by two predominantly polyphonic movements that are fashioned from the same thematic material. The two-chorus texture offers many opportunities for interweaving as well as contrast and echo effects of all kinds. It is not known who wrote the non-liturgical text. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Full score & performance material (BA4899) and vocal score (BA4899-90) for sale
