Mozart’s Litaniae Lauretanae in D, the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is also known as the Litany of Loreto, Italy after its first-known place of origin. Beautifully composed for four soloists, chorus and orchestra, its uplifting movements are: Kyrie, Sancta Maria, Salus Infirmorum, Regina Angelorum, concluding with a deeply moving Agnus Dei for solo soprano and choir.

Haydn’s Stabat Mater is a 13th-century Christian hymn, portraying the Virgin Mary’s suffering during her son’s crucifixion. Many composers have since set this inspirational sacred text. Haydn’s wonderful version dates from 1767, and is superbly scored similarly to the above.
