Description:
When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart returned to Salzburg from his trip to Paris in January 1779, the only work of church music he had in his luggage was an unfinished Kyrie in E flat major (K. 296a) together with sketches for the Sanctus and Benedictus (K. 296c). In 2015, at the suggestion of Armin Kircher (†), Johann Simon Kreuzpointner set about compiling a five-movement mass composition from this material, including an unfinished cantata in E flat major (KV 429). Kreuzpointner based the instrumentation and text underlay on Mozart's church music works. The experienced church musician and composer thus succeeds in creating a convincing and stylistically confident work, which he has already been able to test in several performances.
The result is a concise and easy-to-sing mass that does not pose too difficult a task for soloists, choir and orchestra.
The title "Missa brevissima" does not originate from Mozart, but was chosen because of the brevity of the mass setting with the missing Credo. This is also intended to emphasize the special position of this mass composition.
Separate parts Oboe I and II transposed for clarinet in Bb can be ordered separately.
