Mottetto a 4 voci in sol minore "God is our refuge" (1765)
di W.A. Mozart (1756-1791)

La prima composizione a carattere sacro e corale fu scritta dal piccolo Mozart nel luglio del 1765, durante la permanenza della famiglia a Londra.
Quando i Mozart lasciarono l'Inghilterra nel settembre 1765, Leopold portò con sé una lettera ufficiale del British Museum, in cui si confermava di aver ricevuto il manoscritto di questo e di alcuni altri lavori scritti da Wolfgang.

ll testo riprende il primo versetto del Salmo 46:
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".

  • In 1765 the Mozarts were in London. In July, they visited the new British Museum to which Wolfgang dedicated this motet with the text in the local language :)
