Question

In Mozart’s Coronation Mass, this text is sung in a solo soprano aria whose melody anticipates his later aria “Dove sono.” In a foreboding passage from Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, two soloists alternate singing this text in recitative (“reh-sih-tuh-TEEV”), over trumpet fanfares and timpani rolls. In Mozart’s Requiem, this text is set in a movement that begins with a loud D minor chord that gives way (-5[1])to a quiet run of 11 sixteenth notes in the violins. (-5[1])In Palestrina’s Pope Marcellus (10[1])Mass, this text is split (10[1])across two movements, (-5[1])the latter scored (10[1])for seven voices. In J. S. Bach’s Mass in B minor, this prayer is set as a G-minor aria for contralto and two violins. Haydn’s Paukenmesse (“PAO-ken-MESS-uh”) is named for the violent timpani solo in its movement with this title, which follows the Sanctus and Benedictus. (10[1])For (-5[1])10 points, (10[1]-5[1])name this (10[1])Latin prayer to the “Lamb of (10[1])God.” (10[4])■END■ (10[11]0[3])
