'Pax et bonum per musicam' ('Peace and good through music') - this pious wish is also the title of the International Music Festival initiated a few years ago by the Franciscan friar Fr. Tobiasz Fiećka - parish priest of St. Anthony's parish in Wrocław. Although initially the festival focused on organ recitals thanks to the presence of neo-Gothic century-old organs, it was eventually diversified with concerts of music belonging to other genres and performed on different instruments.
The short Mass, or Missa brevis in B-flat major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was composed in 1777 in Salzburg. The creator was then 21 years old. There are many stories in the history of music proving Mozart's genius, as well as quite a few anecdotes about his childishness, excessive self-confidence, and egocentrism. However, little is known about his piety. He probably did not spend too much time delving into Catholicism or the ideology of the Masonic lodge, to which he was admitted in 1884. However, he believed in the Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul, as evidenced by the words he wrote in a letter to his father: 'I always have God before my eyes. I know that He is almighty, I fear His wrath, but I also know about His love, compassion, and mercy for His creatures. He will never abandon His servants'. Sacred music is a fairly large part of his work. The composer living in the 20th century, Arnold Schönberg, said: 'The reigning music in heaven is Bach, but as angels are themselves, they play Mozart'.
The authenticity of the sound will be ensured by the soloists and the Wrocław Philharmonic Choir, accompanied by the Early Music Ensemble under the direction of Andrzej Kosendiak.
