History
Mozart's own entry into his catalogue under the heading "July 1785" may be an error; he most likely forgot to enter a new heading for November.[2] It was performed during a Masonic funeral service held on 17 November 1785 in memory of two of Mozart's Masonic brethren,[3] Duke Georg August of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Count Franz Esterházy von Galántha,[4] members of the Viennese aristocracy.
The work uses the Gregorian chant psalm-tone, Script error: No such module "Lang"..Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The work is scored for 2 oboes, 1 soprano clarinet, 3 basset horns, 1 contrabassoon, 2 horns and strings.[5] The basset horn parts were written for fellow Freemasons Anton David and Vincent Springer.[1]
On 20 November 2021 a new arrangement by Giulio Castronovo, created to match the orchestration of Mozart's Requiem in D minor, K. 626, (2 basset horns in F, 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets in D, 3 trombones, timpani and strings[6]), was premiered in the Template:Ill by the baroque orchestra La Banda conducted by Sebastian Ruf as an introduction to a performance of the Requiem.[7]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
