    natum de Maria Virgine,
    vere passum, immolatum

  • Hail, true body,
    born of the Virgin Mary,
    truly tormented, sacrificed
    on the cross for mankind,
    from whose pierced side
    flowed blood and water:
    be our strength in the trial of death.

    geboren aus Maria, der Jungfrau,

    sei uns Stärkung für die Prüfung des Todes.

  • Texte du livret du CD Carus 83.353

    « La musique sacrée était le genre favori de Mozart », écrit Franz Xaver Niemetschek dans sa biographie de Mozart parue en 1798 à Prague. En dehors des multiples impressions musicales au cours de ses voyages, il se confronta sciemment à la tradition salzbourgeoise. Il tenait notamment en grande estime les œuvres de musique sacrée de Johann Michael Haydn, dont il se fit envoyer des copies à Vienne.

    Mozart écrit en 1765 à l’âge de neuf ans sa première composition d’un texte religieux à Londres, au cours d’un voyage de presque trois ans et demie à travers l’Europe de l’Ouest. La brève pièce chorale de 23 mesures God is our Refuge KV 20 est écrite sur le deuxième verset du Psaume 46 et s’inspire du style de la musique d’église traditionnelle anglaise d’alors. Wolfgang écrivit son unique composition d’un texte anglais sous la houlette paternelle

    Translation (abridged): John Coombs

    „Church music was Mozart’s favorite genre of composition” wrote Franz Xaver Niemetschek in his biography of Mozart published in Prague in 1798. Along with the many musical impressions gained during his journeys he studied closely the Salzburg tradition. He valued especially the church works of Michael Haydn, copies of which he asked to be sent to him in Vienna.

    When he was nine years old Mozart composed his first setting of a sacred text in London in 1765 during the tour of western Europe which lasted for almost three and a half years. The short, 23-measure choral piece God is our Refuge, K. 20, is a setting of text from Psalm 46, and it is modelled on traditional English church music of the period. Wolfgang wrote this little choral work, his only setting of English words, under his father’s supervision, and as can

    „Kirchenmusik war das Lieblingsfach Mozarts“ schrieb Franz Xaver Niemetschek in seiner im Jahr 1798 in Prag erschienenen Biographie Mozarts. Zeitlebens beschäftigte sich Mozart mit der geistlichen Musik. Neben den vielfältigen musikalischen Eindrücken auf seinen Reisen setzte er sich auch bewusst mit der Salzburger Tradition auseinander. Besonders schätzte er die kirchenmusikalischen Werke Johann Michael Haydns, von denen er sich Abschriften nach Wien schicken ließ.

    Die erste Vertonung eines geistlichen Textes schuf Mozart 1765 im Alter von neun Jahren, auf der fast dreieinhalb Jahre dauernden Reise durch Westeuropa in London. Das kurze, 23-taktige Chorstück God is our Refuge KV 20 ist über den zweiten Vers aus Psalm 46 gearbeitet und nimmt den Stil der traditionellen englischen Kirchenmusik der Zeit zum Vorbild. Unklar ist, welcher Gattung das Werk zuzurechnen

  • As 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.
