(c) Johannes Hloch W. A. Mozart: Mass in C major & Exsultate, Jubilate
Vienna, Stephansdom — main
About the Event
Spend an evening dedicated to Mozart listening to his *Missa Solemnis* and *Exsultate, Jubilate* at St. Stephen’s Cathedral—performed by musicians from his hometown.
The *Missa Solemnis* is Mozart’s last complete mass composition. It was only later given the title Missa solemnis, as its festive orchestral instrumentation bears similarities to the Missa solemnis genre. Compared to the Coronation Mass, composed a year earlier and in whose shadow this work unjustly stands, the Missa solemnis exhibits a more austere approach to church music and liturgy, yet displays comparable ingenuity. The autograph score is dated March 1780, meaning it was written shortly before Mozart left Salzburg to settle in Vienna. The solemn concert is complemented by the radiant “Exsultate, Jubilate.” It is one of Mozart’s most famous church works, in which a bell‐like soprano can showcase all her skill.
The Hallein Chamber Orchestra and the Amadeus Choir Salzburg, along with renowned soloists under the direction of Moritz Guttmann, will perform the works in the cathedral. Look forward to a jubilant and beautiful evening at St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
