At the end of 1784 Mozart was for the first time admitted to a Viennese Masonic lodge. In 1785, he composed a “Masonic funeral music”. This short but extremely poignant work is often seen as a stepping-stone between the Great Mass in C minor and the Requiem. Although the C minor key gives the piece an unquestionable funereal character, its conclusion is serene, thanks to the final C major chord.

Despite being considered one of Mozart's absolute masterpieces, it is rarely performed due to the uniqueness of its original orchestration: 2 Oboes, 1 Clarinet, 3 Basset Horns, 1 Contrabassoon, 2 Horns, Strings.

This arrangement for Standard Classica Orchestra (2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets, 2 Bassoons, 2 Horns, Strings) makes the piece available to any standard chamber orchestra, recreating the color and the nuances of the original orchestration.
