 quiem Mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791). Mozart composed part 
 of the Requiem in Vienna in late 1791\, but it was unfinished at his death
  on 5 December the same year. A version\, largely completed by Mozart’s 
 student Süssmayr\, was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg\, who had com
 missioned the piece for a requiem service to commemorate the first anniver
 sary of the death of his wife. Walsegg probably intended to pass the Requi
 em off as his own composition\, as he is known to have done with other wor
 ks. This plan was frustrated by a public benefit performance for Mozart's 
 widow Constanze.  \n\nExsultate\, jubilate (Exult\, rejoice)\, K. 165\, 
 is a 1773 three-movement motet written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he 
 was still in his teens. Mozart was staying in Milan during the production 
 of his opera Lucio Silla which was being performed there in the Teatro Reg
 io Ducale. This opera’s leading role was filled by the gifted Italian ca
 strato Venanzio Rauzzini\, whose powerful high voice was greatly admired. 
 After hearing Rauzzini’s voice\, Mozart wrote Exsultate\, Jubilate expre
 ssly for him. More recently this motet has been adopted by female sopranos
 .\n\nTe Deum in C Major (Hob XXIIIc:2)\, Te Deum for the Empress Marie Th
 erese\, is one of Haydn's  significant choral works. This piece\, dedicat
 ed to the Empress Marie Therese\, wife of Franz I of Austria\, is a rare e
 xample of a work from Haydn's late period that doesn't feature soloists. T
 he second of Haydn's Te Deum settings\, the work was performed in Septembe
 r 1800 on the name-day of the wife of Haydn's patron\, Prince Nicolaus Est
 erhazy II\, and it features the C major tonality and extensive use of trum
 pets and drums that were often associated with festive ceremony.\n \n\nFo
