c-Moll-Mozart's Missa in C for SATB.The Mass in C minor K. 427 Mozart's 'Great Mass' remaines a torso - a circumstance which is extremely regrettable especially given the monumentality of this work. Mozart finished only the Kyrie Gloria Sanctus 'Osanna' and Benedictus of the Mass. For two movements from the Credo he only completed sketches without instrumentation. In March 1785 Mozart arranged Kyrie and Gloria supplemented by a tenor and a soprano aria for the Italian oratorio 'Davide penitente'. In his arrangement of the Mass in c minor Richard Maunder added Creed wind and brass instruments to the Credo sketches.

Carmina Burana reflects the period when Orff finally turned his back on chromaticism and complex polyphony for a deliberately simplified style characterised by its rhythmic energy and the repetition of short melodic phrases supported by elemental block harmonies.
