Hair Is Thinning At The Front

"... rest assured her that I had cer religion" - the end of Mozart Year

To 00:55 on 5 December 1791 died 215 years ago in the parish area of St. Stephan Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The" blessing ceremony "took place in St. Stephen's Cathedral, after which the mortal remains of the composer of the St. Marxer Cemetery transferred. Around Mozart's death, many performances of Requiem are experiencing. Thus, the performance ended at St. Stephen's in the minutes of Mozart's death. At St. Michael's church, where on 10 December 1791, the Requiem was first heard, today was the memorial service to hear the ceremony from that were derived from the 1525 bell rung, also on 10 December 1791 was sounded. The bell was restored recently and on 18 November rededicated.

Both "events" were offered under the project "Mozart sacred," one of the "Mozart Year 2006". For the first time within one year of Mozart's entire church music has been played, which in close cooperation was compiled with the Archdiocese of Vienna and organized. The belief was in Mozart's life is always an important place, although he was a freemason. " the way they were assured that I cer religion have," he wrote on June 13, 1781 his father Leopold. From Mozart's wife Constanze we know from a letter received that his favorite instrument was the organ. Mozart's contemporaries appreciated it mainly as a church musician. It was also "Church Musician" the profession, the longest Mozart has given as his. "Composer" was in fact at that time not as a profession. And there is no musical genre for which Mozart had composed more as for the church music.
from the motet "God is our refuge" to the great Masses and the Requiem there is a range of sacred music of Mozart. Overall, the Mozart research holds at 74 musical works. In addition to the works of Mozart took into account the programming and relevant works of role models and contemporaries of Mozart in the field of church music. In addition to Antonio Salieri and Joseph Haydn was also thought of the now sadly forgotten Mozart-style Michael Haydn.

" Da (Nemmers exactly) the death is the true goal of our life is I have made myself a few years with the true, best friend of man so well known that his Image is no longer frightening to me, but is indeed very soothing and comforting! And I thank God for giving me the chance indulged me the opportunity (they understand me) to give to get to know him as the key to our true happiness. I never lie down in bed, without thinking that I might (as young as I am) the next day will not be-ing - and yet no one Sagn by all who know me, can I in intercourse or sullen sad. - And for the happiness I thank my Creator every day and wish them from the heart of each of my fellow human beings. "
WA Mozart in a letter to his father, Vienna, 4 April 1787
