Program Notes:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the world’s most talented, prolific, and famous musical composers, was born in Austria in 1756. As a child protégé he performed at a young age throughout Europe on the violin, harpsichord, organ, and piano. He wrote symphonies, sonatas, operas, and church music. He composed three settings of the “Regina Coeli” text, this one in 1778 when he was 22 years old. It is a single movement where soloists alternate with the full chorus. The prevalence of “Alleluias” mark this as a work of excitement and great joy. The soloists tell the story while the chorus interjects repeatedly with exuberant “Alleluias.” “Regina Coeli” (Queen of Heaven) honors the Virgin Mary and is used in the Roman Catholic liturgy during the Easter season.
