Erik Rosenius as bass soloist in Mozart requiem at Láuditori in Barcelona

Requiem in D Minor, a work of legendary fame, marks a highpoint in W. A. Mozart’s late period dedicated to sacred music. A work that went unfinished due to the composer’s premature death, it is an autobiographical testimony to the composer, over and beyond his treatment of the themes of death and Divine Judgement. Mozart’s use of dramatic action breathes new life into this sacred genre, with a sound that shines out to create a powerfully intense experience. His disciple Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who had already assisted him with other contemporary works such as The Magic Flute and The Clemency of Titus, finished off the requiem: a work with some pending issues since Mozart posed the question of death, but it still remains unresolved.
Mozart’s famous Symphony No. 40 stands out among his last three symphonies and among all those that he wrote in Vienna for its masterly use of wind instruments in the orchestral texture and for its bold harmonics, which are unique to this work. This masterpiece contains all the promise and heralds all the potential that would later be reflected in Romantic symphonies.

Despite the brevity of this motet on the death of God made man, Ave verum corpus is considered to be “the most sublime work of art ever written by Mozart” in the opinion of leading 20th expert in Mozart, Bernhard Paumgartner.

English

Embolcallada en un nimbe de llegenda, la Missa de Rèquiem és la culminació d’una etapa en l’obra tardana de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, dedicada a la música religiosa. Truncada per la prematura mort del compositor durant el seu procés de creació i veritable document autobiogràfic, aquesta obra va més enllà del tractament de la mort i del Judici Diví. Mozart genera una acció dramàtica capaç de renovar el gènere sacre, on l’expressió vocal sobresurt per il·luminar una experiència desbordant. El seu deixeble Franz Xaver Süssmayr, que ja l’havia assistit en obres coetànies com La flauta màgica o La clemència de Tito, va completar una partitura al voltant de la qual persisteixen nombrosos interrogants: Mozart va plantejar la qüestió de la mort, però la seva pregunta va quedar sense resposta.
Entre la producció simfònica de Mozart a Viena i les tres últimes simfonies destaca la cèlebre Simfonia n. 40 pel seu magistral ús del vent en la textura orquestral i per una escriptura harmònica de gran audàcia, única en tota la seva producció. Aquesta obra mestra conté i anuncia tot el potencial que eclosionarà al simfonisme romàntic.

Malgrat la seva brevetat, el motet Ave verum corpus, dedicat al misteri de la mort de Déu fet home, ha estat considerat per Bernhard Paumgartner, un dels grans especialistes del segle XX en el compositor, com “l’obra d’art més sublim escrita per Mozart”.
