Veni Sancte Spiritus (K.47) (Vocal Score)

Mozart Veni Sancte Spiritus (K.47) (Vocal Score)

Mozart‘s “Veni Sancte Spiritus” K.47 was composed in 1768 in Vienna.  The two-part setting of the Pentecost sequence “Veni Sancte Spiritus” follows the text of the antiphon “Ad invocandum Spiritum Sanctum” and leads into the “Alleluia”.

The music composed by young Mozart is characterised by alternating solo and tutti passages, while entries composed in an imitative style bear witness to the exacting schooling of the boy, as well as the influence of Salzburg church music composers Leopold Mozart, Johann Ernst Eberlin and Michael Haydn.
