Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Record of the Cambridge Centenary Commemoration on December 4 and 5, 1891 of Wolfgang Amad� Mozart, Born Jan: 27, 1756 Died Dec, 5, 1791
Some regret was at first felt that a performance of the Requiem Mass was not within our possi bilities, but this feeling was afterwards more than counterbalanced by satisfaction at having publicly drawn renewed attention to the Mass in F major, a work of Mozart's nineteenth year, the exuberant beauty and musicianly strength of which render it worthy of performance by any choir, while the extreme moderation of its orchestral demands - for only first and second violins, and basses, in ad dition to the organ - should specially commend it to choral societies situated in non-orchestral neighf bourhoods.
