Title

According to http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/objs/ed/ucb03_20_234.jpg at the NMA, the title ought to be Sancta Maria, mater Dei (with a lower case "m" for "mater"). Also, the disambiguator "(Mozart)" seems unnecessary as there is no other such title. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:54, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if there are other compositions of the same text with a likely article, in which case we better leave "(Mozart)", or better write one on the text alone, and on compositions with disambiguation, as Locus iste (no idea why that one has the Bruckner image) vs. Locu, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:42, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are indeed other such compositions according to Worldcat, including a (probably anonymous I'm guessing??) one in Pierre Attaingnant's books. Schissel | Sound the Note! 13:50, 13 October 2015 (UTC) (Edit: also, on a quick scan anyway, Gombert, Willaert, Armin Kircher, others.)[reply]

Note: I now see that Armin Kircher died on the 12th (yesterday). I assure you this is a coincidence; his name was listed in Worldcat when I searched under Sancta Maria etc. ... Schissel | Sound the Note! 00:47, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

entered his work into his catalog?

Did Mozart keep a work-catalog in Salzburg? He kept one starting in 1784, but I was unaware that he kept any others. Of course, there are other ways (letters to friends and relatives, dates of a ceremony for which a religious work may have been composed, and simply: date-signed manuscripts- though all, including work catalogs (see for example: Ferdinand Ries's latter) - need to be used with care of course *g* ) Schissel | Sound the Note! 13:48, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
