The offertory “Misericordias Domini” K.222 (205a) has a special place among Mozart’s minor ecclesiastical works. A letter from Wolfgang to Padre Martini dated 4 September 1776 informs us that the piece was written in January or February 1775 in Munich at the request of the Prince Elector of Bavaria and was performed there on 5 March. Drawing closely on the carefully wrought works of Mozart’s Salzburg predecessors and incorporating a motif from Johann Ernst Eberlein’s “Benedixisti Domine” this contrapuntal masterpiece unites polyphony with expressive tension-laden harmonies. Unfortunately as the copy sent to Padre Martinicannot be located in Bologna the authenticity of the viola part is still open to question.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4789) and vocal score (BA4789-90) available for sale.

In addition to his masses and the Requiem, Mozart wrote an abundance of smaller sacred choral works for the church. Misericordias Domini KV 222 (205a) was created at the beginning of 1775 in Munich as a commission for the prince-elector. The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements -- Soprano, Alto and Men -- and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for “sound†to create the portmanteau word “sound together†or “harmony.†The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.

Since the two verifiable autographs of the offertory Misericordias Domini have been lost, for the present new critical edition Robert Munster was able to rely for the first time on the manuscript parts from the music of the Court of Munich which he discovered. These can be traced back to the material used for the first performance of the work in Munich in 1775 and hence they can also be traced back to the Munich autograph. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4004000.
