Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( )

General Info Born in Salzburg Austria in 1756 Son of Leopold and Maria Anna Mozart Mozart was educated by his father Started playing music at age 4 First composition at age 5 Performed for royalty at ages 5 and 6 Played before Louis XV at age 9

Church Music Began composing church music at age 12 In late teens/early twenties he worked for Archbishop Hieronymous Colloredo of Salzburg His masses were written for use in worship, not for performance Archbishop insisted that mass not be prolonged by music and stay with 3 quarters of an hour

2 litanies—one in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, one in honor of the Blessed Virgin 17 single movement works written for performance between the Epistle and the Gospel 2 settings of the five Psalms and the Magnificat required for celebrating solemn Vespers Many masses written for use in worship Some Sacred Compositions Include:

Mozart Missa C Minor KV Credo in unum Deum

Poietical Analysis Created by the composer for his wife as a wedding gift Because it was never finished, only parts of it were performed First performance was october 26 at St. Peter’s Marriage to Constanze

Death of firstborn Great success in Austria including several performances, even one in front of the emperor Several new pieces created during this time Mass never being finished suggests that it’s a minor work Written during anxious period in his life

Eisthesic analysis Considered both a major and a minor work because of its incompletion Was meant to be used at mass; however, could not be due to time restrictions by the archbishop. Thus mostly sung in performance setting. Some believe that it was unfinished because of Haydn and Bach, suggesting that he was trying to keep up with them
