Program Notes
This movement is part of an ongoing project: a large-scale mass where my goal is to emulate the mature church style of W.A. Mozart as accurately as possible. The work mainly draws inspiration from Mozart's largest work in the genre, the so-called "Great mass" in C minor, K. 427. The Kyrie was written in December 2021. Seven more movements have since been completed (i.e. the entirety of the Gloria) and will possibly be uploaded sometime in the future. The full mass will have a total of 19 movements.
