Description

[Machine Translation] Mozart, who joined the Freemasons in 1784, made many friends and inspirations, and was active in the organization, composing about 10 pieces of music for the members. One of the best known is "Funeral Music for Freemasons," which was composed to mourn the death of two of Mozart's beloved members, and was performed at the farewell ceremony. It is a strict work in the old style, including a short Gregorian chant of about 8 minutes, and has a mournful atmosphere that one would not normally expect from Mozart. The other vocal pieces were written to be sung by other members of the ensemble, especially the cantata K623, which was written in his last years, and is of exceptional beauty and solemnity.

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

モーツァルト: フリーメイソンの音楽集 / クラシックオムニバス

1784年にフリーメイソンに入会したモーツァルトは、多くの友人とインスピレーションを得て、活動も積極的に行い、会員のための音楽も10曲ほど作曲している。中でも知られているのが「フリーメイソンのための葬送音楽」で、これはモーツァルトが敬愛していた2人の会員の死を悼んで作曲され、告別式の際に演奏された作品。約8分ほどの短いグレゴリオ聖歌を含む古い様式を用いた厳格な作品で、普段のモーツァルトとは思えないほどの悲痛な雰囲気を有している。他の声楽曲は、メンバー同士で歌うことを想定されて書かれており、とりわけ最晩年の作品であるカンタータK623はとびきりの美しさと荘厳さを湛えている。
