Description:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's radiant Mass in C major, K. 257, widely renowned as the "Credo Mass", is one of the most vibrant and uplifting mass settings of the Classical era. The work owes its famous nickname to the striking and energetic "Credo" statements proclaimed repeatedly by the choir, lending the music its extraordinary brilliance and momentum. This high-quality vocal score published by Bärenreiter is based on the definitive Urtext of the New Mozart Edition, ensuring the utmost musicological accuracy and performance reliability. Scored for four soloists (SATB) and mixed choir (SATB), it skillfully condenses the rich orchestral colors—originally featuring oboes, trumpets, trombones, timpani, strings, and organ—into an intuitive piano reduction. Perfect for inspiring rehearsals and festive performances in concerts and liturgical services alike, this edition is an indispensable staple for any choir.
