Missa Solemnis (Mozart)
The Missa Solemnis in C major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K. 337, was written in 1780 for Salzburg.[1] It was Mozart's last complete mass.[2] The mass is scored for soloists, choir, 2 oboes,[3] 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones,[4] strings (without violas[5]) and organ, the latter supplying figured bass for most of the duration.
The Sanctus recalls features of the Kyrie, and also has a violin figure Mozart used again in Idomeneo.[6] The Benedictus is peculiar for Mozart's mass settings in that it is an austere fugue in an archaic style.[7]
