WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART1756-1791

Concerto in C Major, for oboe and Orchestra, KV. 314Allegro aperlo; Adagio non troppo; Rondo: Allegretto

Hollis Ulaky, oboe

Mozarl's concerto for oboe dates from 1777 when the composer was21years of age and in Salzburg. But the same music was transposed to thekey of Dmajor for flute when he was in Mannheim in 1778. It enjoyednumerous performances in both versions, as it does today.

Requiem, KV 626 as is explained in the followingtexts, is only partly byMozart. The version heard today is chieflythat of Franz Xaver Siissmayr(1766-1803).

MOZART AND THE REQUIEMWe began to call him Amadeus after Peter Shaffer's wonderful drama and 1984 movie.

Affectionately, call him Wolfie. Even more intimate.Shaffer wasn't writing a history of Mozart, but a fiction of Salieri's preferred version of Mozart's

life. But it's great drama and has terrific insights into Mozart's abilities as a genius composer.A genius right up there with very, very fewcomposers in histoty.A very big event for Mozart in 1791 was the commissioning of a Requiem, the commission

brought by a masked messenger. In the movie (not in the stage version), Mozart desperately hied to dictateportions of it from what was to be his deathbed-to Salieri--equally as desperate to convince the youngpriest that it was he who took down notes from dictation from the dying Mozart. Who wouldn't havewanted to be in that position?

The actual history of the incomplete Requiem is far more complicated. Salieri wasn't involved,and scholars are yet to agree on just how it should be finished, or if there are sketches that remainundiscovered unless some unforeseen cache of manuscripts is found in some Austrian (or elsewhere) atticor library. Not likely.

Constanze (Mozart's wife) took the incomplete manuscripts to several people, eventually agreeingwith Siissmayr, a student of Mozart's, to finish the work. Siissmayr's writing is not the same as themaster's. Yet the version remains very popular.

As you see from our logo, 1756was Mozart's birth year (he only lived to be 35) and that was 250years ago. Mozart festivals are going on all over the world, and we are proud to help provide part of thatfestival in Rock Hill. We are even more proud that it is a part of our 2511.Anniversary.

SEQUENTIAMozart completed the vocal score, instrumental bass, and motivic portions

of the orchestration. Joseph Eybler wrote the orchestration;later Siissmayr copied Eybler's work with some revisions.

Dies irae, diesilla Dayofwrath,that daySolvetsaeclumin favilla, will dissolvethe earth in ashesTesteDavidcum Sibylla. As Davidand the Sibylbearwitness.

Quantus tremor est futurusQuando judexestventurusCuncta strictediscussurus.

Oro supplex et accliriis,Cor contritum quasi cinis,Gere curam mei finis.

Iprayin supplicationon myknees.Myheart contrite as the dust,Safeguardmy ending.

Mozart completed only the first eight bars of Lacrymosa.Siissmayr composed bars 9-30 and orchestrated the movement.

OFFERTORIUMMozart completed the vocal score, the instrumental bass, and motivic portions

of the orchestration. Abbe Stadler may have worked on theorchestration before Siissmayr's revisions.

COMMUNIONMusic is hy Mozart. Lux aelerna is tal~en from hars 23-62 of the first movement;

Cum sanctis tuis is taken from hars 1-52 of the Kyrie.Both movements are slightly adjusted for the different texts.

Lux aetema luceat eis, Domine, May eternal light shine on them, 0 Lordcum sanctis tuis in aeternum, withYour saints for ever,quia pius es. becauseYou art merciful.Requiemaeternam dona eis, Domine, Grant the deadeternal rest, 0 Lord,et lux perpetua luceat eis, and may perpetual light shine on them.cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, with Your saints for ever,quia pius es. becauseYou are merciful.

'Some scholarsspeculatethat Constanze gaveSiissmayr drafts that Mozart had beenworkingon. Some of these mayhave contained instructions or preliminaryvocal ideas. Constanze mentions such drafts in a letter to Stadler in1827. AnAmen chorus for the end of the Sequencewasdiscovereda fewyears ago and is incorporated in some20th

century alternate versionsof the work.
