W. A. Mozart composed the "Ave verum Corpus" motet for four vocalists, orchestra, and organ, catalogued as KV 618, in Baden bei Wien on June 17, 1791, just half a year before his death. This composition, likely dedicated to his friend Anton Stoll, who directed the local church choir, has, due to its heartfelt sincerity, maintained a steadfast role in the Catholic Church's liturgical practices to this day. This brief but powerful piece, comprising 46 beats, is often recognized as a pure embodiment of classical music's simplicity and majesty. The original handwritten score, spanning four pages, was acquired by the library formerly known as the "Kaiserlich Königliche Hofbibliothek" in Vienna, thanks to Ludwig Ritter von Köchel in 1877. Presently, this original Mozart manuscript is esteemed as an exceptionally valuable item within the Austrian National Library's music collection.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
