Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Missa in C minor »Waisenhaus Mass« K. 139 Arranged for soloists (SATB), choir and organ by Martin Focke BA 7521 · EUR 13.95
	Masterwork of a twelve-year-old Mozart had barely turned twelve when he composed and conducted his Missa in C minor, K. 139, to inaugurate a new orphanage on Vienna’s Rennweg in 1768. This astonishing early work adheres to the form of a Neapolitan cantata mass, in which the separate movements (»Gloria«, »Credo« etc.) are themselves made up of self-contained choruses, ariosos and ensembles. This frequently heard Mass is characterized by a sharp contrast between its cheerful underlying C major mood and gloomy dramatic passages in the minor mode.

Missa brevis in C major »Sparrow Mass« K. 220 Arranged for soloists (SATB), choir and organ by Martin Focke BA 7522 · EUR 7.95
	Masses for Choir ... The »Sparrow Mass« is one of the most significant pieces of church music from Mozart’s years in Salzburg. Thanks to its clarity and largely homophonic texture, it remains even today a work that is easily mastered in church and concert hall performances.

Missa in C major »Credo Mass« K. 257 Arranged for soloists (SATB), choir and organ by Martin Focke BA 7520 · EUR 12.95
	... and Organ The name »Credo Mass« is taken from the acclamations of »Credo« that constantly interrupt the like-named movement. Dating from the end of 1776, this Mass is remarkable for its density of invention within the narrowest of confines. Further, its instrumental accompaniment has an almost chamber-music quality that emerges time and again into almost symphonic proportions. Our arrangement successfully patterns the idiosyncrasies of the orchestral writing. The solo and choral writing leaves the Urtext of the »New Mozart Edition« entirely untouched.
