Great Mass in C minor, K. 427 (film)
The Great Mass in C minor, K. 427, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is a large-scale unfinished Mass setting. While the majority of the movements were composed between 1782 and 1783, it remained incomplete, lacking a Credo and Agnus Dei. The "film" aspect of the title likely refers to a cinematic adaptation, performance recording, or documentary that centers on or features Mozart's Great Mass in C minor. These films can vary in format, ranging from concert films of the work performed live, to narrative films incorporating the music into the storyline, to documentaries exploring the history, composition, and performance practices of the Mass. They may also delve into the personal context of the Mass, particularly Mozart's relationship with his wife Constanze and the dedication of the work to her. The film medium allows for visual enhancements and storytelling elements to augment the purely musical experience, offering different perspectives and interpretations of the Great Mass.
