It was during Mozart’s last years at Salzburg, 1779 and 1780, that he composed the two sets of Vespers, KV 321 and KV 339. The music ot these Vespers gives no indication of Mozart’s many grounds for annoyance at that time. With supreme concentration he devoted himself to his task, and the penultimate movement of the Vespers KV 339, "Laudate Dominum" (Psalm 116) inspired him to create an exquisite melody which is part of the undying heritage of classical music.

The critical editon of the "Vesperae solennes de Confessore" KV 339, edited by Wolfgang Horn, is the first edition since the publication of the "old" Complete Edition from 1880 to be based on Mozart’s autograph score. The score was thought to have been lost after the second world war but it is again accessible through the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków.
