Mozart: Missa in C Major, K. 220 (196b) (arr. for female choir)

Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Arranger: Heribert Breuer Instrumentation (this edition): Piano Reduction, Female Choir Originally for: SATB Choir, Orchestra Work: Missa in C Major ("Sparrow Mass"), K. 220 (196b) Binding: Work Language: Latin ISMN: 9790006523399 Size: 7.5 x 10.6 inches Pages: 46 Description Mozart's "Missa in C Major" (K. 220), nicknamed the "Sparrow Mass" for its frequently recurring characteristic motifs in the violins, has retained a firm place in the choral repertoire to the present day. Now it has been arranged for female choir and is appearing as part of the recently started "Bärenreiter Female Choir" series. Heribert Breuer has judiciously transferred the tenor and bass solos to the high voices and incorporated the original soprano and alto parts largely unchanged into the solo and chorus parts. He has thereby retained the work's original substance while giving it a wholly new and delightful sound.
