Mozart: Missa in C Major, K. 220 [196b] (Vocal Score, New Reduction)
Prince Archbishop Hieronymus Count von Colloredo demanded a mixed form for the masses performed in Salzburg: a Missa brevis in terms of length but with the instrumentation of a Missa solemnis with timpani and trumpets. with the Missa in C Major, K. 220, Mozart presented a work around 1775 that met these requirements for the first time. The work was nicknamed "Spatzenmesse" (Sparrow Mass) because of a distinctive motif played by the violins in the Sanctus and Benedictus.
** New Reduction **
For the piano part, Andreas Köhs has provided an improved orchestral reduction that optimally transfers the instrumental parts to the piano and at the same time prioritizes playability. The vocal parts are based on the Urtext of the "New Mozart Edition".
This new vocal score (BA11973-90) is compatible with the previous edition (BA5343-90), so there is no problem if some choir members use the new edition and others still use the older one. The full score and orchestral parts will continue to be available under BA5343.
