The CD Salzburg Marian Mass features a programme that is a reconstruction of the so-called Salzburg Liturgy, i.e. a repertoire that could have been successfully performed at the end of the 18th century during services in Salzburg churches. Listening to this programme, we can travel back in time to 1777, from which most of the presented music originates. Mozart was then twenty-one years old, a fully formed, although still very young composer. Missa brevis in B flat major, KV 275, dates from the end of 1777, and features four soloists, a four-part choir and a small instrumental accompaniment. In addition to Mozart’s Mass in B flat major, the disc includes the motets Alma Dei Creatoris and Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, as well as four church sonatas, which were recorded alternating with parts of the mass as they might have sounded during an 18th-century liturgy.

Recorded under the direction of Andrzej Kosendiak with the singers the NFM Choir and Wrocław Baroque Ensemble, the album is the first CD recorded by the NFM Boys’ Choir under the auspices of the National Forum of Music. The NFM Boys’ Choir, founded by Andrzej Kosendiak in 2009, operates following the example of boys’ choirs with a centuries-old tradition in the most important European music centres.
