Translations  

Missa Brevis in C Major, K. 258 “Piccolomini Mass”
By Wolfgang Amadeus  Mozart (1756-1791)

  • Kyrie - Lord have mercy. Christ, have mercy.

  • Gloria - Glory to God in the highest. And on earth peace to all those of good will. We praise Thee. We bless Thee. We worship Thee. We glorify Thee. We give thanks to Thee according to Thy great glory. Lord God, Heavenly King, God the Father almighty. Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, Thou who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy upon us. For Thou alone art holy. Thou alone art the Lord. Thou alone art the most high, Jesus Christ. With the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

  • Credo - I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from, Light from Light, true God from true God. Begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made. Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven.

  • Sanctus - Holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest.

  • Benedictus - Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

  • Agnus Dei - Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Ave Maria

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Mon Couer Se Recommande á Vous

My heart is offered still for you.
Full now of woe and deep despairing
Be not constancy untrue.
One Farewell my sorrow sharing.
My mouth, which once could smile in gladness,
And charming stories improvise,
Now may only curse in it’s madness
Those who banished me from your eyes.
