Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus presents some of Mozart's greatest choral music: the Mass in C minor, the Vesperae solennes de confessore (Solemn Vespers) and the pretty Veni Sancte Spiritus..Mozart’s powerful Great Mass in C minor reveals Mozart at the height of his brilliance. This large-scale work, a missa solemnis, is scored for four soloists – two sopranos, a tenor and a bass – with a double chorus and orchestra. At Mozart’s death it remained unfinished, but it embodies the pomp and solemnity associated with the Salzburg traditions of the time. It also anticipates the symphonic masses of Joseph Haydn.
Completed a few years earlier, Vesperae solennes de confessore (Solemn Vespers for a Confessor) was composed for liturgical use in the Salzburg Cathedral. The Laudate Dominum is its best-known movement, with a beautiful solo for soprano accompanied by choir and ensemble.
Veni Sancte Spiritus is a beautiful example of Mozart’s youthful skill, composed when he was just 12!
Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus, with instrumental ensemble and four outstanding soloists, is excited to present these magical choral gems.
