Description
Prince Archbishop Hieronymus Count von Colloredo demanded a mixed form for the masses performed in Salzburg: a Missa brevis in terms of length but with the instrumentation of a Missa solemnis with timpani and trumpets. With the Missa in C major K. 220, Mozart presented a work around 1775 that met these requirements for the first time. The work was nicknamed “Spatzenmesse” (Sparrow Mass) because of a distinctive motif played by the violins in the Sanctus and Benedictus.
