Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Missa brevis in F major,
K. 192 (186f), was completed in
Salzburg, on 24 June 1774. It is scored for SATB soloists, SATB choir, 2
trumpets (which Mozart added later), 3
trombones, 2
violins,
organ. AMA I/1 No. 6, NMA I:1/1/ii
The Credo of this mass features the "Do-Re-Fa-Mi" motif from the hymn Lucis creator,[1] which Mozart later used as the main theme to the final of his
Jupiter Symphony.[2] Due to its repetition of this theme, it is classed as a Credo Mass;[3] it is often known as the Kleine (small) Credo Mass to distinguish it from the Great Credo Mass,
K. 257.[4]
