Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Missa brevis in C major, K. 220 (196b), affectionately known as the "Sparrow Mass" (Spatzenmesse), is one of the most charming and popular masterworks of Classical sacred music. It owes its nickname to the distinctive, bird-like violin figures heard in the Sanctus and Benedictus. With its youthful vitality, compact structure, and uplifting radiance, it continues to delight singers and audiences alike. This premium vocal score published by Breitkopf & Härtel is based on Franz Beyer's acclaimed Urtext edition. Beyer adheres meticulously to Mozart's original manuscript, faithfully preserving even the subtlest historical nuances for supreme authenticity. Scored for mixed choir (SATB), soloists, and piano, this edition features a practical and well-crafted piano reduction—ideal for rehearsals, festive church services, and concert performances.
