For our 2021-22 season finale, the Sonoma Bach Choir, Live Oak Baroque Orchestra and four wonderful soloists will join together to present Mozart’s two greatest incomplete works: The C Minor Mass (called the ‘Great Mass’), and the Requiem in D Minor.
Left unfinished in entirely different circumstances, the two pieces provide ‘bookends’ for the composer’s mature output, as well as glimpses of his compositional process. Although both have been completed, by Mozart’s student and colleague Franz Xavier Süssmayr (in the case of the Requiem), and by such modern scholars as Robert Levin, our concerts will include only the‘torsos’ of the two works: The movements actually written by Mozart. In our Bach Talk and Sing, we will learn about the history of these remarkable sacred works, and will sing as much of the magnificent music contained therein as possible. Please join us for an evening of Mozart, a glimpse of our upcoming season! |
