Mozart's Mass in C Major, K. 220, nicknamed the "Sparrow Mass" for its frequently recurring characteristic motifs in the violins, has retained a firm place in the choral repertoire to the present day. Now it has been arranged for female choir, keeping the work's original substance while giving it a wholly new and delightful sound. This is one of a series of Baerenreiter editions arranged for women's voices, which includes Mozart's "Missa brevis in D Major, K. 194"and "Coronation Mass"as well as Vivaldi's "Gloria"and "Kyrie."
