Mass in C minor, K. 427 (417a): Vocal Score

A new, digitally-enhanced reissue of the classic vocal score for Alois Schmitt's reconstruction of Mozart's incomplete masterpiece. Originally planned for a celebration of his wedding to Constanze Weber, Mozart performed the several completed sections on Oct. 26, 1783 in Salzburg - filling in with movements from earlier liturgical works. Later, the composer used several sections of this music in his 1785 oratorio "Davidde Penitente" with new words.Schmitt, inspired by Sussmayr's completionof the "Requiem", completed the orchestration from Mozart's sketches where needed and filled in missing sections with movements from earlier masses. His reconstruction was given its premiere in 1901 and promptly entered the choral repertoire.Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus is the author of 'Mass in C minor, K. 427 (417a): Vocal Score', published 2005 under ISBN 9781932419221 and ISBN 1932419225.
