Mozart’s Sancta Maria, Mater Dei is one of those chants of the liturgy that are based on the time of the church year or the respective feast of saints. It was probably sung at a festival of Mary following the birth of Mary.

Also available in a version for Choir & Organ (Carus 40.053/45).

  • Sancta Maria Mater Dei,
    ego omnia tibi debeo
    sed ab hac hora singulariter,
    me tuis servitiis devoveo, singulariter devoveo,
    te patronam, te sospitatricem, patronam eligo,
    te sospitatricem, te patronam,
    sospitatricem eligo, te, te patronam eligo,
    te, te sospitatricem eligo.

    Tuus honor et cultus
    aeternum mihi cordi fuerit,
    quem ego nunquam deseram,
    neque ab aliis mihi subditis
    verbo factoque violari patiar.

    Sancta Maria, tu pia,
    me pedibus tuis advolutum recipe,
    in vita protege,
    in mortis discrimine defende.
    Amen.

    Willi Schulze

    Mozarts Sancta Maria (KV 273) gehört zu denjenigen Gesängen der Liturgie, die sich nach der Zeit des Kirchenjahres oder dem jeweiligen Heiligenfest richten: Proprium de tempore et de Sanctis. Ordinarium und Proprium bildeten die feste Ordnung des Messgottesdienstes, die der Komponist kirchlicher Musik zu respektieren hatte. Während jedoch das Ordinarium in seinem Aufbau vom Kyrie bis zum Agnus Dei keine Veränderungen zuließ (dass Gloria und Credo zu bestimmten Zeiten wegfielen, war ebenfalls durch die liturgische Ordnung geregelt), war zu Mozarts Zeit im Proprium eine gewisse Freizügigkeit gestattet. So konnten freie Motetten oder Instrumentalstücke an Stelle der vorgeschriebenen liturgischen Gesänge verwendet werden. Mozarts Kirchensonaten, genauer als Epistelsonaten bezeichnet, gehen auf diese freie liturgische Ordnung zurück. Sie erklangen als Überleitungsmusik zwischen den Lesungen der Epistel und des Evangeliums. Ähnlich frei verfuhr man in der Wiedergabe des Offertoriums.

Additional product information
  • As the son of the deputy Kapellmeister to the Salzburg Prince-Archbishop, Mozart was constantly surrounded by church music in his youth. On his travels Mozart became familiar with Italian church music, and later in Vienna he studied the works of Bach and Handel. After moving to Vienna he was faced with the new challenges of composing opera and piano concertos, and significantly the “C Minor Mass” KV 427, the greatest sacred work of the first Vienna years, remained unfinished. The last period of his life again shows a change of direction to church music: Mozart successfully applied to succeed the terminally ill Leopold Hoffmann as Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral, but he was unable to take up the position as he died before Hoffmann. A gem such as the “Ave verum” KV 618 and the incomplete Requiem KV 626 give us an idea of what Mozart might have achieved as a composer of sacred music if he had taken up this important position.
