The English conductor and composer Howard Arman has presented us with a completed version of Mozart’s Requiem. “Another one?” you might ask, since this publication is only the latest in a long line reaching back to the traditional Süßmayr version. Yet such is the enormous power of Mozart’s score that the challenge and appeal of completing it remain undiminished. After two decades of intensive study, Howard Arman’s additions to Mozart’s great original show the requisite care and respect while incorporating many new insights.

Arman’s approach is particularly fruitful. Always aware of the appropriate limits to such re-creative work, he orients himself towards the typical characteristics of Mozart’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 instrument’s unique sound is given an opportunity to shine. Arman’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 – in the spirit of Mozart – on creating a sense of drama and illuminating the theme in all its possible facets. Mozart’s fragment ends with the Hostias, and so does Arman’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 Süßmayr, 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.

Arman’s version has already proven its practical value. The premiere with the Bavarian Radio Choir was enthusiastically received by audiences and press alike – and celebrated as offering a scholarly, entirely fresh perspective on Mozart’s masterpiece.

Both of the Kyrie settings in E flat major K. 322 (1778/79) and C major K. 323 (probably not prior to 1790) belong to those works by Mozart which were only handed down as incomplete draft scores. However, in both cases Mozart's original drafts were so extensive and well advanced that Abbe Maximilian Stadler, Mozart's friend and known from the history associated with the Requiem, could complete both settings. In 1830, for the first edition of the Kyrie K. 323 Stadler employed the text of the Marian Antiphon for Easter Regina coeli laetare for the vocal parts. The Carus edition presents both the original text (Kyrie), as well as the text from the first edition (Regina coeli), so that the work may be performed in the Mass or in the context of a solemn Vespers during the time of Easter.

Im Fruhjahr 1987 hat ein Kolloquium zu Fragen der deutsch-tschechischen Musikbeziehungen, veranstaltet von der Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Mittelrheinische Musikgeschichte e.V., von der Mozartgemeinde Kurpfalz und vom Musikwissenschaftlichen Institut der Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz, in Mannheim stattgefunden. Die auf dieser Tagung gehaltenen Referate lieferten Beitrage zu dem Generalthema allgemein, aber auch speziell zu den Gattungen Symphonie, Kirchenmusik und Melodrama. Die vorliegende Publikation fasst diese Untersuchungen zusammen und versucht auf diese Weise, einen weiteren Beitrag zur Geschichte der Musikverbindungen zwischen Mannheim und den Gebieten Bohmens und Mahrens beizusteuern.

Gatti, a contemporary companion of Leopold and W. A. Mozart, composed this Concertone, that is published here for the first time, in 1769 for the opening of the Teatro Bibiena in Mantua, where the young Mozart, only five weeks later, gave his second, well-received concert in Italy. Not only the charming solos (apart from the two violins there is also a cello and an oboe) remind us of Mozart's composition of the same name that was composed four years later (KV190).
