Description:
The final work composed by Mozart for the Salzburg Cathedral, the original title of this sacred choral composition, VESPERAE SOLENNES DE CONFESSORE (Solemn Vespers for a Confessor) did not include "de confessore," which was added later by another hand to Mozart's manuscript, suggesting that the work was intended for vespers held on a specific day of the liturgical calendar of saints ("confessors"), though the saint has never been established. Structurally, the work is very similar to VESPERAE SOLENNES DE DOMINICA (K.321), that Mozart composed the year prior in 1779. Movements: 1. Dixit Dominus, 2. Confitebor, 3. Beatus Vir, 4. Laudate Pueri, 5. Laudate Dominum, 6. Magnificat. Instrumentation: 0.0.0.1: 0.2.3.0: Timp: Org: Str (4.4.0.3.3): Solo SATB.Mix Chor. Reprint edition.
