Kirchenkonzert

W. A. Mozart / Missa brevis in D major KV 194
for solos, choir, orchestra, and organ

Mozart composed this mass at the age of 18 as a court musician in Salzburg for the Salzburg Cathedral. It is a Missa brevis, as the composition had to meet the liturgical requirements of Archbishop Colloredo - it could not exceed 20 minutes.
The mass impresses with fresh, catchy melodies, a varied alternation of choral and solo parts, and the use of three trombones, which – as was customary in Salzburg at the time – double the alto, tenor, and bass voices of the choir, creating a particularly festive sound.

With the soloists:
Judith Ramerstorfer (soprano)
Silke Kiener (alto)
Michael Schmidbauer (tenor)
Reinhard Mayr (bass)
Ulrike Koblmüller (conductor)
Karl Kasbauer (organ)
