Concert band Soloists (SATB) Choir and Symphonic Band - Grade 5
SKU: BF.BM602-SET
KV 317. Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Davide Donazzolo. Baton Music Vocal Series. KV 317. Full Score and set of parts. Duration 35:00. Baton Music #BM602-SET. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM602-SET).Mozart composed The Coronation Mass (Krönungsmesse KV 317) in 1779. It's one of the most popular of his 17 extant settings of the 'Ordinary of the Mass'. This setting, like the majority of Mozart's mass settings, is a 'Missa brevis', or short mass (as opposed to the more formal 'Solemn Masses' or 'High Masses', known as Missae solemnes). The mass appears to have acquired the nickname Coronation at the Imperial court in Vienna in the early nineteenth century, after becoming the preferred music for royal and imperial coronations as well as services of Thanksgiving. Whether it was performed at the coronations of Leopold II in 1790 and Francis II in 1792, as some sources assume, is unlikely.
