Missa i C otes & Traslatios Perhaps oe of his most popular works, Missa i C was composed for the Mass for Easter day i 1779, durig Wolfgag s employmet with the Archbishop i Salzburg. It fits the requiremets of the sovereig to last o more tha 45 miutes, but still features the istrumetatio of grader solem masses, icludig trumpets, timpai, hors ad oboes. As early as the 19th cetury, the mass has bee referred to as Coroatio Mass eve though Mozart himself did ot give it that ame. It is speculated that it was performed for coroatio festivities i Prague (where he was held i high regard), either for Leopold II i 1791 or for his successor Fracis I i 1792. Mozart s operas, icludig The Marriage of Figaro, were wildly popular i Prague. It is likely that oe of the reasos this mass was so well received there is because of the soprao solo i the fial movemet, which is remarkably similar to the Coutess s aria Dove soo i that opera. Kyrie Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Gloria Glory be to God i the highest. Ad o earth peace to all of good will. We praise Thee; we bless Thee; we worship Thee; we glorify Thee. We give thaks to Thee for Thy great glory. Lord God, Heavely Kig, God the Father Almighty. Lord Jesus Christ, the oly begotte So. Lord God, Lamb of God, So of the Father. Thou that takest away the sis of the world, have mercy upo us. Thou that takest away the sis of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right had of the Father, have mercy upo us. For thou oly art holy, thou oly art the Lord, thou oly art the most high, Jesus Christ. Together with the Holy Ghost i the glory of God the Father. Ame.
