Krönungsmesse-Composed in 1779 Mozart?s ?Coronation Mass? in C major K.317 is one of the most popular settings of the Ordinary thanks to its festive character and the wealth and variety of its musical ideas. This arrangement for solo voices chorus and organ is based on the Urtext of the New Mozart Edition and makes the work available in all its radiant beauty to choruses and church choirs with limited financial resources. The ?concertante? organ part prepared by Martin Focke from Mozart?s orchestral accompaniment does full justice to the beauty of the original.Self-contained version with organ instead of orchestraIdeal for church services and concertperformancesStraightforward and easy-to-play organ partThe Bärenreiter Choir & Organ Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.The original orchestral parts have been transcribed into easy-to-play organ reductions whereby the contemporary tradition of such arrangements has been taken into consideration.

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?
