sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion:
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength in the brightness of the saints:
from the womb before the morning star
I begot thee.
The Lord hath sworn, and He will not repent:
Thou art a priest for ever
according to the order of Melchisedech.
The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of His wrath.
He shall judge among nations,
He shall fill ruins:
He shall crush the heads in the land of many.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way:...

Der Herr sprach zu meinem Herrn:
Setze dich zu meiner Rechten,
bis ich deine Feinde
zum Schemel deiner Füße lege.
Der Herr wird das Zepter deiner Macht ausstrecken aus Zion:
Herrsche mitten unter deinen Feinden!
Wenn du dein Heer aufbietest,
wird dir dein Volk willig folgen in heiligem Schmuck.
Deine Kinder werden dir geboren wie der Tau aus der Morgenröte.
Der Herr hat geschworen, und es wird ihn nicht gereuen:
Du bist ein Priester ewiglich
nach der Weise Melchisedeks.
Der Herr zu deiner Rechten wird zerschmettern die Könige am Tage seines Zorns.
Er wird richten unter den Heiden, wird viele erschlagen,
wird Häupter zerschmettern über große Lande.
Er wird trinken vom Bach auf dem Wege,...

Dixit Dominus Domino meo:
Sede a dextris meis:
Donec ponam inimicos tuos,
scabellum pedum tuorum.
Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion:
dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae
in splendoribus sanctorum:
ex utero ante luciferum genui te.
Juravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum:
Tu es sacerdos in aeternum
secundum ordinem Melchisedech. Dominus a dextris tuis,
confregit in die irae suae reges.
Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas:
conquasabit capita in terra multorum.
De torrente in via bibet:
propterea exaltabit caput.

Composer
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
| 1756-1791As the son of the deputy Kapellmeister to the Salzburg Prince-Archbishop, Mozart was constantly surrounded by church music in his youth. On his travels Mozart became familiar with Italian church music, and later in Vienna he studied the works of Bach and Handel. After moving to Vienna he was faced with the new challenges of composing opera and piano concertos, and significantly the “C Minor Mass” KV 427, the greatest sacred work of the first Vienna years, remained unfinished. The last period of his life again shows a change of direction to church music: Mozart successfully applied to succeed the terminally ill Leopold Hoffmann as Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral, but he was unable to take up the position as he died before Hoffmann. A gem such as the “Ave verum” KV 618 and the incomplete Requiem KV 626 give us an idea of what Mozart might have achieved as a composer of sacred music if he had taken up this important position.

Conductor
Howard Arman
| 1954Versatility is a musical characteristic which defines the work of the London-born conductor and composer Howard Arman. He has distinguished himself in all aspects of classical music, from historically-informed performances of baroque music, to opera, symphony and jazz as well as large-scale orchestral “singalong” concerts, and his work as a writer and narrator of broadcasts about music. Choral music is of particular importance. From 1998 to 2013 he was Artistic Director of the MDR (Central German Radio) Choir, which appointed him Honorary Conductor in 2019. From 2016 to 2022 he was Artistic Director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, with whom he similarly produced a large number of CD, video and television productions. Howard Arman has appeared as a guest conductor throughout Europa as well as in Asia and America.
His own compositions include choral, orchestral and stage works, beside numerous arrangements for choir and orchestra, and a series of editions of music from the 17th to the 19th century. He has held professorships both at the Mozarteum, and at the Hochschule Lucerne in Switzerland.
At Carus Howard Arman has presented us with a completed version of Mozart’s Requiem.
