From the church program notes: It's been a while since we've done any large musical project that is truly classical. To remedy this shocking oversight, on Mothers' Day we present Mozart's timeless masterpiece, Vesperae Solennes de Confessore, the last complete large choral work that Mozart composed. Written in 1780, the music is dramatic, tuneful, and profoundly satisfying to study, sing and hear. There is an elegance and ease about it that is truly timeless; it is music for the ages.
