The first page of the autograph of the Mass K.49 (47d) bears below the author’s name the crossed-out (autograph?) suffix “in Wien” (“in Vienna”). “1768” and “in Wien” have been added by two other unidentified eighteenth-century hands.Mozart’s handwriting and the paper quality appear to verify this information. Moreover Mozart sketched the draft of the Gloria (measures 1 to 18) on a piece of paper the reverse side of which his father had used undoubtedly before that for the fair copy of the piano score of aria no. 11 from Bastien et Bastienne K. 50 (46). In Leopold Mozart’s list of works composed byWolfgang up to 1768 “Eine kleinere Messe a 4 vocibus 2 Violinis &c” (“a small Mass with 4 voices 2 violins etc.”) appears as the penultimate entry; the year 1768 was added by Mozart’s sister. Although the obbligato viola is not mentioned there this comnposition is surely the Mass K.49.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4769) and vocal score (BA4769-90) available for sale.

The Mass K.262 (246a) is known as Missa longa. Leopold Mozart designated it so next to the incipit on the cover of the autograph collection of five masses in C major by his son. Mozart literature gives the year of origin as 1776 without mentioning the speculative nature of this claim.The monumentality of the Missa longa suggests that the work was written for a particularly solemn occasion. When scanning for outstanding ecclesiastical events in the 1770?s one cannot ignore the consecration of Ignaz Josef Count Spaur coadjutor and administrator of the diocese of Brixen as titular bishop of Chrysopel on 17 November 1776 in the Salzburg cathedral. Erich Schenk claimsthat Leopold Mozart?s mention of Wolfgang?s ?Spaur Mass? in a letter of 28 May 1778 was in reference to the consecration of Ignaz Josef Spaur an old friend of the Mozart family. Mozart?s work would then have to be seen as an homage of a truly personal nature. The Missa longa is the only setting of the Ordinary from this period which is appropriate to such a highly solemn event.Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?

Great Credo Mass-The Missa K.257 bears the non-authentic dating 1776 and was presumably composed at the end of 1776 or in the first half of 1777. Like K.262 (246a) it is designated in Leopold Mozart?s handwriting as a Missa longa on the cover page of an early composite manuscript containing the five masses in C major. K.257 is listed there as the last work. The designation ?Missa longa? was intended to point out that this was an extensive full-scale mass. Normally it would have been called a Missa solemnis but Mozart for unknown reasons did not make use of this customary nomenclature.The name ?Credo Mass? is taken from the acclamations of ?Credo? that constantly interrupt thelike-named movement. The Mass is remarkable for its density of invention within the narrowest of confines. Further its instrumental accompaniment has an almost chamber-music quality that emerges time and again into almost symphonic proportions. Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? Straightforward piano reduction in the vocal score Ideal for church services and concert performances Full score & performance material (BA4859) and vocal score (BA4859-90) for saleArrangement for soloists choir & organ (BA7520) for sale

Sparrow Mass-Mozart?s ?Missa in C major? (K.220) nicknamed the ?Sparrow Mass? for its frequently recurring characteristic motifs in the violins has retained a firm place in the choral repertoire to the present day.The ?Sparrow Mass? is one of the most significant pieces of church music from Mozart?s years in Salzburg.Thanks to its clarity and largely homophonic texture it remains even today a work that is easily mastered in church and concert hall performances.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionIdeal for church services and concert performancesFull score & performance material (BA5343) and vocal score (BA5343-90)for saleArrangement for soloists choir & organ (BA7522) for saleArrangement for soloists and female choir (BA5693) avaailable for sale

Dominicus Mass-The Missa solemnis K.66 was one of the compositions that Mozart composed for the first solemn mass celebrated by his childhood friend Pater Dominicus Hagenauer in the abbey church of St. Peter in Salzburg on 15 October 1769.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4791) and vocal score (BA4791-90) available for sale.

Vocal score for Haydn's Cecilia Mass of 1766 edited by Rudolf Lück. Mass text is provided in Latin with editorial preface in English and German.

Baroque tradition remained alive in the music of Salzburg Cathedral into the first decades of the nineteenth century. This called for the inclusion of three trombones playing colla parte with the alto tenor and bass in the tuttis. Although not expressly noted in the autographs of the Masses the participation of trombones is authentically documented for K. 65 (61a).- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA5341) and vocal score (BA5341-90) available for sale.

Organ Solo Mass-The Mass K.259 known as the Organ Solo Mass on account of an important organ passage in the Benedictus will have been written around 1775/76. On l7th May 1778 the Prince-Archbishop Colloredo consecrated his cousin Anton Theodor Count Colloredo-Mels und Wallsee Archbishop of Olmütz. The Prince of the Church had not commissioned a Mass for the consecration and had left the choice up to Leopold Mozart who assumed the office as Kapellmeister in that week. Leopold reported on this to his wife and son in Paris on 28th May 1778: 'l did the one of Wolfg [sic]: Mass with the organ solo: but the kyrie from the Spaur Mass; had it written and duly got the 6ducats.Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?Ideal for church services and concert performances Full score & performance material (BA4852) and vocal score (BA4852-90) for sale
