Description
The MISSA BREVIS IN B-FLAT MAJOR, K. 275/272B, is an economical, yet intimate treatment of the Latin text by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). The work is further condensed by the fact that it requires different texts to be sung simultaneously. It places a stronger emphasis on the solo singers than in the MASS D MAJOR, K. 194, to which it is sometimes compared. The earliest known performance took place on December 21, 1777, in the year that it was probably composed. Among the soloists, the castrato Francesco Ceccarelli received praise for his performance. The autograph score has not survived. Instrumentation: Org: Solo SATB. Mx Chor.
