Works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Alma Dei Creatoris

A translation in English is:

The kind mother of God the Creator
Sits as the guilty sinner's most merciful mother.
You, in your mercy, do what we ask
for us who are prone to conflict.

Missa Brevis in D is written for sopranos. The organ part plays an major role in the mass and should be treated as such - quiet subtle playing in soft passages, and fiery energetic playing in loud passages. The sopranos sing as legato as possible, particularly in the slower sections, so as to sustain a good sense of phrase.

Ave Verum Corpus was written for Anton Stoll, a friend of Mozart. It is a chorale challenge; simple, yet unforgiving of anything less than perfection.

The hymn's title means "Hail, true Body."

A translation in English is:

Hail, true Body,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Truly suffered, sacrificed
On the Cross for mankind,
Whose pierced side
Flowed with water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste
In the trial of death
