Description
SKU: A0.945804
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Giulio Castronovo. Classical,Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Sacred,Spiritual. Score and parts. 32 pages. Giulio Castronovo #6331839. Published by Giulio Castronovo (A0.945804).At the end of 1784 Mozart was for the first time admitted to a Viennese Masonic lodge. In 1785, he composed a "Masonic funeral music". This short but extremely poignant work is often seen as a stepping-stone between the Great Mass in C minor and the Requiem.
Despite being considered one of Mozart's absolute masterpieces, it is rarely performed due to the uniqueness of its original orchestration: 2 Oboes, 1 Clarinet, 3 Basset Horns, 1 Contrabassoon, 2 Horns, Strings.
An ideal orchestral introduction to Mozart’s Requiem KV 626, it is however virtually never performed in the same program, due to the completely different orchestrations and keys of the two pieces.
This arrangement makes the Masonic Funeral Music match with the key (D minor) and the uniquely peculiar orchestration of the Requiem (2 Basset Horns, 2 Bassoons, 2 Trumpets, Timpani, 3 Trombones, Strings), recreating the nuances of the original piece with the colors of Mozart’s last composition.
