Teulada Auditorium
Next Saturday 30 March at 19:00 h, a Mozart Requiem concert will be held in the Teulada-Moraira Auditorium, by the Jumilla Symphonic Orchestra and Discantus Chorus, from Murcia. The concert will be conducted by Nicolás Gálvez and Ángel L. Carrillo; vocals will be the soprano Eva Tenorio, mezzosoprano Inés Olavaria, tenor Francisco J. Sánchez and bass Carlos García.
The Requiem Mass is a music genre recurred by many composers, in many different periods. However, the most beautiful and emblematic example is the Requiem Mass in D Minor (KV 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). The whole composition is just amazing, but the most outstanding and powerful part of the requiem could well be the Dies irae, which thrills anyone who listens to it.
Mozart’s Requiem is an incomplete work and this leads to many different versions with particular touches and changes. Some of them are the versions by Beyer, Maunder, Robbins Landon, Druce and Levin. The most famous version is that by Süssmayr, revisited by Franz Beyer in 1972, as he tried to bring the piece back to its most original state (even this version has also been criticized).
Mozart finished the opening movement and wrote most of the 5 first movements of the sequence (from Dies irae to Confutatis), plus 8 compasses from the 6th movement, Lacrimosa. He also left some drafts of the ofertorium. Süssmayr added the trombone to Tuba mirum, wrote the Sanctus, the Benedictus and the Agnus based on the drafts and ideas by Mozart. Finally, he repeated the Kyrie, which was a common thing on those days (as one can tell in the Coronation Mass).
The concert starts at 19:00 h and admissions cost €15.
