Mozarabic chant Mozarabic chant (also known as Hispanic chant, Old Hispanic chant, Old Spanish chant, or Visigothic chant) is the liturgical plainchant repertory of the Mozarabic rite of the Roman Catholic Church, related to but distinct from Gregorian chant. It is primarily associated with the Iberian Peninsula under Visigothic rule (mainly in what was to become modern Spain) and with the Catholic Mozarabs living under Muslim rule, and was soon replaced by the chant of the Roman rite following the Christian Reconquest.
Mozarabic language Mozarabic was a continuum of closely related Romance dialects spoken in Muslim dominated areas of the Iberian Peninsula during the early stages of the Romance languages' development in Iberia. This set of dialects came to be known as the Mozarabic language, though there was never a common standard.
Mozart and Salieri Mozart and Salieri (Motsart i Sal’yeri in transliteration) is a one-act opera in two scenes by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to a Russian libretto taken almost verbatim from Alexander Pushkin's 1830 verse drama of the same name. First performance: Solodovnikov Theater, Moscow, 1898.
Mozart Modulations In many of Mozart's compsitions modulations between different keys were employed in order to provide contrast and to increase length. This was standard for the Classical music era and these techniques were also employed by other composers such as Haydn, Beethoven, and others.
Mozart Piano Concertos Mozart wrote music in all the major genres of the classical era, but his most important works are the operas and the concertos, of which the piano concertos are the most numerous and substantial. These works, many of which Mozart composed for himself to play in the Vienna concert series of 1784-86 held a special place for him; indeed, Mozart's father apparently interrupted him composing a "harpsichord concerto" at age 4.
Mozart Programming System The Mozart Programming System is a multiplatform implementation of the Oz programming language developed by the Mozart Consortium. It excels in creating distributed, concurrent applications, because it makes a network fully transparent.
