Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sheet Music

Of the vespers and vesper psalms that Mozart wrote for Salzburg Cathedral, the vesper parts "Dixit et Magnificat" are the earliest. Like the later complete vespers, they belong to the ecclesiastical a...

Mozart's "Sancta Maria" is one of those liturgical chants that are based on the time of the church year or the respective feast of the saints. It was probably sung on a feast of the Virgin Mary follow...

This Litany of the Virgin Mary is the first and simplest of the four litanies that Mozart composed in Salzburg in 1771-76. Due to the simple scoring - the trombone choir which joins the church trio on...

The litany consists of six movements, which are divided into nine differently characterized sections. It is clearly based on the sacramental litanies of his Salzburg predecessors and contemporaries.

It was during Mozart's last years at Salzburg, 1779 and 1780, that he composed the two sets of Vespers, KV 321 and KV 339. The music ot these Vespers gives no indication of Mozart's many grounds for a...

Due to the requirement of the Archbishop of Salzburg that even a solemn mass should not last longer than three quarters of an hour, Mozart composed a "Missa brevis et solemnis", i.e. a solemn mass wit...

Mozart's "Missa in C major" K. 317, unfoundedly called the "Coronation Mass", is one of the most popular and most frequently performed works of its genre. The autograph of the mass, which is revealing...

Mozart's mass settings have always been an integral part of church music practice. Like few other settings of the Ordinary, they combine high artistic perfection and beauty of sound with the requireme...

Composed in the autumn of 1768 during an extended stay in Vienna, this work marks the beginning of a series of masses in which Mozart was always concerned with the expression of true and genuine churc...

The "Missa brevis in D minor" is one of the few masses that Mozart wrote in a minor key. Only two others, the "Missa solemnis", K. 139, and the "Great Mass", K. 427, are also in a minor key.

The "Missa brevis in F" KV 192 (186f) is a highlight among Mozart's youth masses. The music is extremely accessible and charming, and due to the Credo calls interspersed throughout the third movement,...

In the summer of 1774, Mozart wrote two masses in close proximity to each other, the Missa brevis in F K. 192 and the Missa brevis in D K. 194. Both compositions are characterized by a more or less pr...

The nickname of this mass is due to the independent solo presence of the organ instrument during the "Benedictus" section. K. 259 is thus part of a tradition dating back to the 1730s, which can be tra...

In contrast to Mozart's much shorter masses of the same period, Leopold Mozart described K. 262 as a "Missa longa". Indeed, the length of the individual movements and the final fugues of the Gloria an...

The two Kyrie settings in E flat K. 322 (1778/79) and in C K. 323 (probably not before 1790) are among the works by Mozart that only exist as incomplete draft scores. In both cases, however, Mozart's...
