Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)

Motet "God is our refuge" in g minor, KV 20

Choir:
·Soprano
·Alto
·Tenor
·Bass

London Symphony Orchesta and Choir

In this mere 23 bars, this "sacred madrigal" for four voices reveals the influence of the polyphony of XVI century English anthems. The text is from Psalm 46. It is often assumed that the model was a setting of the same psalm by J. Battishill, whom the young Mozart may have met. Leopold presented the original manuscript to the British Museum, which expressed its thanks in a letter dated 19 July 1765.

Composed in June / July 1765, during the Grand Tour of Europe, in London. First performed in that city, July 1765
