Par GARCIA JOSE MAURICIO NUNES. Garcia, born in 1767 in Rio de Janeiro, and priest and music director at the cathedral there, is still hardly known. Among his spiritual works are four settings of the Mass for the Dead. The present „Missa dos Defunktos“ was commissioned by the Portuguese King Dom Joao VI in the memory of Queen Maria I, who died in 1816. The composition, in the key of D minor, shows…

Marienantiphon. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Im Gegensatz zu den beiden 'Regina coeli'-Vertonungen KV 74 und 127, die mit Solosopran und Chor besetzt sind, verwendet Mozart in KV 276 das Solistenquartett, das ähnlich wie in den Salzburger Messen oft nur in kurzen Einwürfen mit dem Chor dialogisiert.

Requiem. Par SUPPE FRANZ VON. Franz Suppè wrote his Requiem not as a humanistic or pantheistic lament for the dead, but as a work created on the basis of firm Christian and Catholic faith.
