Besides the Masses the Requiem and the Vespers Mozart’s lengthier church-music works also include four Litanies all composed in Salzburg. After his first Italian journey (13 December 1769 to 28 March 1771) Mozart returned to his post as archiepiscopal “Konzertmeister”. Undoubtedly inspired by what he had just experienced he wrote the Litaniae Lauretanae (Loretian Litany) K.109 (74e) his first work in this genre which is dated May 1771.The form of the Litany was found already in early Christian times. Like its name suggests it is a prayer of supplication with a steady repetition of acclamations; however with regard to its manner ofperformance it is also a kind of responsory prayer. While the Loretian Litany is an eloquent expression of Marian devotion the Sacramental Litany is a testimony of praise and veneration of the Eucharist and a recognition of its salvational effect.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4890) and vocal score (BA4890-90) available for sale.

This Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the first and most straightforward of four litanies which Mozart composed from 1771 to 1776 in Salzburg. Its light instrumental scoring - only the church trio of two violins and continuo, with trombones used merely to reinforce the choir - suggest that this piece was intended for Marian devotions in the small Court Chapel of Schloss Mirabell. Score available separately - see item CA.4005400.
