Tantum ergo, K.142/Anh.C 3.04 (Sargeant)

Description

This work was once credited to Mozart but later discounted as being by him and attributed instead to the composer Jan Zach (1699-1773). Recent Zach scholarship has largely discredited the idea of Zach being the composer, whose identity remains obscure. In any case, this work has remained quite popular for good reason regardless of who the actual composer may have been. Editor Richard W. Sargeant Jr. has produced a beautifully engraved vocal score which will be welcomed by choruses worldwide interested in performance of this delightful piece of Latin church music from Mozart’s era.
