Spatzenmesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. An unusual feature of this Mass is its cyclic form, a compositional principle which Mozart first introduced in his masses in this 'Mass in C': in the Agnus Dei ('Dona nobis pacem') he reverted to the music of the Kyrie, thus giving the Mass overall musical unity. Another unusual feature of this work is its popular character. This is evident both in its catchy themes and in its relatively straigthforward musical structure. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes, Timbale

Orgelsolomesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Der Beiname dieser Messe verdankt sich der eigenständig-solistischen Präsenz des Orgelinstruments während des 'Benedictus'-Abschnittes. Damit steht KV 259 in einer bis in die 1730er Jahre zurückreichende Tradition, die sich durch Komponistennamen vor allem aus dem Wiener Raum, wie Georg Reuter, Joseph Haydn, Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf oder Johann Baptist Vanhal belegen lässt. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes, Timbale

Spaur-Messe. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The relatively unspectacular nature of the 'Spaur Mass' may be one of the reasons for the fact that writers on music generally refer to it only as a peripheral work, a little sister of Mozart's 'important' church works. With regard to scoring, the 'Spaur Mass' belongs to the category of the 'missa solemnis', but its brevity and its stylistic character belong far more to the 'missa brevis'. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes, Timbale

Missa aulica. Par BRIXI FRANTISEK XAVER. Brixi came from a widespread family of Bohemian musicians which included composers whose works were well known among rural communities. The present edition of this short mass (known as the “Missa aulica”), which is published here for the first time, is a typical example of this type of music: scored for a small ensemble, which makes only modest demands of the soloists – melodious, popular, playful. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes, Timbale
