Unfinished at the time of Mozart’s death in 1791, “[…] the Requiem Mass for the Dead, arguably the most potent and all-embracing of the Church’s liturgical rites, encompasses the whole range of human emotion from terror and awe to confidence that the dead can indeed depart in peace. Mozart’s music takes us deep into the human condition with pleas to be heard and comforted (Voca me), pleas for healing (Salva me), finding the still centre in the rest (Requiem) at the end of tears (Lacrimosa) [...]” – Elizabeth Courtney, VCS Alumna

The Laudate Dominum from Mozart’s 1780 opera, “Vesperae solennes de Confessore K. 339,” is one of his masterpieces. Set as an extended aria, its radiantly poised melody of long, luxurious lines for solo soprano, answered and supported by the chorus, breathes an inward spiritual air.

Ave Verum Corpus was composed in 1791, six months before Mozart’s death. This short motet of 46 measures is a choral gem recognized for its beauty and simplicity. The text, a 14th century Eucharist hymn, contemplates suffering and redemption, while elements of the composition foreshadow his magnificent Requiem.
