This is the second of a series of programmes of lesser-known dhoral works by Mozart. The Mass in C minor (K.139) will be broadcast on March 26.
Mozart wrote the Mass in C (K.66) in Salzburg when he was thirteen. He composed it for the ordination of Cajetan Hagenauer (a son of the Mozart family's landlord), who had entered the Benedictine monastery of St. Peter some years before, when the Mozarts were on their grand tou.r of Europe. The work was performed at the monastery on October 15 1769, when Hagenauer celebrated his first solemn Higth Mass as ' Pater Dominicus '—hence its title. Four years later it was given at rhe Imperial Court in Vienna, with Leopold Mozart conducting. D.C.

Cast in order of speaking:
The place is first at an open space between three streets just before dawn; then in the castle throne-room the same morning.
The Player Queen is play with a terrible theme: it says that evil can triumph in the contemporary world, and it shows this happening. But the prophetic message is only apparent upon reflection, which is probably as it should be. The symbolism never intrudes into the action. The play is essentially entertainment, at times extremely funny in a clownish, knock-about way. Septimus, the drunken poet, is almost a comic figure, a man whose enjoyment of his own behaviour obscures the tragedy of that behaviour. (F.B.)
