They cherish our spirits, they demand that we become our best selves, and they take care of us. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ave verum corpus Ave verum corpus , written six months before the death of the composer, is one of those pieces that can be described as too easy for children and too difficult for adults.
Both the beauty and the profundity lie in the seemingly sheer simplicity of the work. There are subtle, yet significant harmonic shifts that occur through the judicious use of chromaticism which support crucial moments in the text, and the short orchestral prelude and postlude gently frame the choral writing. Mozart never finished his Great Mass in C minor, but even in its fragmented state, its scope, solemnity, and splendor are stunning.
Though less well known, the Great Mass is as mysterious in its own way as the more fabulous myths that accumulated surrounding the Requiem. What we have are fragments: the Kyrie and eight separate small movements of the larger Gloria, both complete; drafts of the first two movements of the Credo; and parts and secondary scores from which editors have pieced together the Sanctus, Hosanna and Benedictus.
Mozart never composed an Agnus Dei and Dona nobis pacem. This afternoon we perform the Carus edition, edited by Frieder Bernius and Uwe Wolf, who attempt to fill in the drafts and piece together the fragments Mozart left, but not to compose or construct the movements that are entirely missing. Here is some of what can be known.

For those with a serious Catholic upbringing, Haydn uses the Gregorian Te Deum plainchant from the eighth psalm-tone. The opening theme in the Allegro , in the traditional festive key of C major, is sung by the chorus in unison. The Adagio at Te ergo quaesumus opens with a thunderous unison C and proceeds, mysteriously, in C minor with the harmonies moving chromatically to stunning, if brief, effect.
