Credo9:00 [mp3] 11:15 [mp3] |
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium, [Et] in unum Dominum, Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, [et] ex Patre natum, ante omnia saecula, Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum non factum, con substantialem Patri, per quern omnia facta sunt, Qui propter nos homines et [propter] nostram salutem descendit de coelis. Et incarnatus est de spiritu sancto ex Maria Virgine et homo factus est, Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est, Et resurrexit tertia die secundum scripturas, et ascendit in coelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris, et iterum venturus est cum Gloria judicare vivos et mortuos, cujus regni non erit finis. Et in spiritum sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit, qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur, qui locutus est per prophetas, [Et unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam,] Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum, [Et expecto resurrectionem] mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi, Amen. I believe in one God, Father, Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible, [And] in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, [born] of the Father before all ages, God of God, light of light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made, Who for us men and [for] our salvation came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried, And the third day he rose again, according to the scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father, and he shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the lord and life-giver, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is adored and glorified, who spake by the prophets, [And in one holy catholic and apostolic Church,] I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins, [And I expect the resurrection] of the dead, and the life of the world to come, Amen. |

On a Sunday honoring graduates, it seems fitting to offer some music by another emerging adult. Mozart was 18 years old in 1774 when he composed his Short Mass to be sung in the court cathedral in Salzburg, his hometown. Like so many others who come of age, he yearned to leave his own region to find success. He was not being well paid as the court composer and saw no hope of pursuing his desire to compose opera after the court’s theater was destroyed in a fire.
The reason for the unusual instrumentation (1st and 2nd violins, bass and organ) is a matter of conjecture, because, other than the original manuscript, not much documentation regarding Mozart’s rationale for this piece has been found. Mozart’s other mass settings typically call for a fuller complement of forces, sometimes including timpani and brass.
What we hear in Missa Brevis in F Major is youthful exuberance and hints of things to come in the evolution of Mozart’s choral style. Working within the early classical period ideals of style galant (simplicity, clarity, immediacy) he shows his brilliance for textsetting, dramatization of the story, and uniquely elegant vocal writing. It would be some years before life experiences resulted in the depth and darkness of Requiem or Mass in C Minor.
