Description:
The best-known requiem mass before Mozart's unfinished Requiem was written by the opera composer Niccolò Jommelli, who was celebrated in his day. The Missa pro defunctis was composed in 1756 during his time as Kapellmeister at the court of Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg on the occasion of the death of the Duchess's mother Maria Augusta. The work was subsequently widely disseminated and performed numerous times. Jommelli composed in the Neapolitan style with an instrumentation of only strings and basso continuo. The simple but effective choral movements are partly polyphonic in the antico style, partly with solo/tutti alternations and numerous prelude dissonances, while the solo parts reveal the opera composer. This beautiful-sounding Missa pro defunctis is now available for the first time in its entirety in a critical edition. In the appendix, settings from Jommelli's circle (Nicola Sala) are offered for text sections missing from Jommelli.
