The ' (''Masonic Funeral Music'') in C minor, K. 477 (K. 479a), is an orchestral work composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785〔Heartz (2009), p. 443〕 in his capacity as a member of the Freemasons. Mozart's own entry into his catalogue under the heading "July 1785" must be considered in error; he most likely forgot to enter a new heading for November.〔NMA IV/11/10 – Symphonies, vol. 10, p. IX 〕 It was performed during a Masonic funeral service held on 17 November 1785 in memory of two of Mozart's Masonic brethren,〔Rosselli (1998), p. 116〕 Duke Georg August of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Count Franz Esterházy von Galántha,〔Cliff Eisen (2006). ''The Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia'', Cambridge University Press, Inc. p. 168〕 members of the Viennese aristocracy. The work uses the Gregorian chant psalm-tone, '. The work is scored for strings; woodwind instruments including two oboes, a clarinet, three basset horns and a contrabassoon; and two horns.〔(Score )〕 The basset horn parts were written for fellow Freemasons Anton David and Vincent Springer.〔 __NOTOC__ ==See also== *Masonic music *Mozart and Freemasonry 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurerische Trauermusik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
