It is very likely that the Mass was composed for the Easter service at Salzburg Cathedral in 1779. Immediately after Mozart’s death, it became the preferred composition for services at imperial and royal coronations and thanksgiving services. The symphonic elements are characteristic of this mass. Solo voices and choir are very clearly separated from each other.
For the Vokal Consort, the young women’s chamber choir of the Berlin Girls’ Choir, the rehearsal of Heribert Breuer’s arrangement for women’s choir represents a particularly appealing task.
