Mozart Requiem (completed Robert Levin) - Haydn Te Deum - Mozart Exsultate Jubilate

Saturday 19th November 2022

St Thomas' Church, Brampton, Chesterfield, S40 3AW

When Mozart died in December 1791, he left his Requiem Mass unfinished. He had fully scored the Requiem and Kyrie and completed the vocal parts and indications of the orchestration up to the start of the Lacrimosa. Here Mozart's autograph finishes...

The Requiem was eventually completed by Franz Süssmayr, but it is not clear how much of the remainder is based on Mozart's sketches.

In the 1960s, a sketch for an Amen fugue was discovered which appears to be Mozart's original ending to the Lacrimosa section. Several alternative completions of the Requiem, attempting to produce something closer to Mozart's intentions, appeared following the discovery.

CCCS performed a stunning completion made by the musicologist and Mozart scholar, Robert Levin, of this masterpiece

A Sacred Oratorio for soprano, alto, tenor and bass soli, SATB chorus and orchestra

Words compiled from Holy Scripture by Charles Jennens

The New Novello Choral Edition, edited by Watkins Shaw

And without Controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness:

God was manifested in the Flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen of Angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the worls, received up in glory.

In whom are hid all the Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge.

(1 Timothy iii, 16; Colossians ii, 3)

These words, selected by Jennens, the librettist, formed a preface to the word-book of the first performance in April 1742, at Dublin. They were repeated on the word-books published in London 1749-59 and later.
