 The Friends of Chamber Music
Although we know why Mozart worked on the C minor Mass and the Requiem, there is relatively little information on the genesis of Ave verum corpus, the only sacred work he completed during his last ten years, and his first religious composition in more than eight years.
In some respects Colloredo was a progressive, wishing to avoid the excesses of baroque liturgical compositions, which had become so large and grand as to dominate other aspects of the liturgy.
The Dixit Dominus (Psalm 110) opens the work majestically, but the text of this movement is especially lengthy, so Mozart resorts to a telescoping trick he also used in the Salzburg masses: he divides the text among the voices so that different words are sung simultaneously by each vocal part.

An unpopular choice whose election was bitterly contested, Colloredo sought to modernize the archdiocese on the Viennese model, but his reform, while generally favouring cultural life in the city by attracting numerous prominent writers and scientists, met with local resistance.
No doubt Colloredo was displeased by Leopold's excessive pride and his superior manner (in November 1766 Leopold had written, ‘after great honours, insolence is absolutely not to be stomached’) and in particular by his continuing attempts to leave the court.
Mozart's contract with Colloredo did not specify his compositional obligations as a composer: it stated only that ‘he shall as far as possible serve the court and the church with new compositions made by him’.

The archbishops of Salzburg had long been recognized as princes of the Holy Roman Empire, and their archdiocese was thus a sovereign state.
Both Archbishops von Schrattenbach and von Colloredo were fond of music, and both were caught up in the ideal of the Enlightenment.
Many of its leaders were dogmatic atheists, others rejected organized religion as "unnatural," but many others reconciled the ideals of the age with their faith and religious convictions.

The Archbishop Schrattenbach passed away in 1772 and was replaced by the Prince Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo — an egotistical man of dictatorial temperament who viewed musicians as mere servants, nothing more.
Although he agreed to put the young Wolfgang on salary as a member of the court orchestra, Colloredo either could not or would not appreciate the musical talent that was before him.
On September 26 — nearly a year to the day from his departure from Salzburg — he left Paris to return and toil in the Purgatory that was Colloredo's court.

Three months later, on March 14, 1772, Count Hieronymus Joseph Franz de Paula Colloredo was elected Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, under pressure from the Austrian Court (for political reasons), and even then only on the thirteenth ballot.
His relationship with the Mozarts would deteriorate badly, and in May 1781 he finally dismissed Wolfgang from his service—which the composer was perfectly happy about, since by then he was bored to death of Salzburg and eager to seek his fortune in the big city of Vienna.

He had contributed to the 1945 concert to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Purcell's death, drawing on the work of the baroque composer, and subsequently arranged the Chacony for string orchestra, adding dynamic shading and equalising the distribution of the parts, though keeping the musical text intact.
The appointment of Hieronymus Colloredo as archbishop of Salzburg in 1772 dramatically changed the cultural life of the city; increasingly music appeared to have a lower status at court than previously, a change which Mozart and his father felt keenly.
Leopold was unable to find positions for himself and his son, one result of which was that Wolfgang turned more to instrumental compositions for private patrons.

Gifted composers such as Mozart who wanted to "make it" in the music world of the eighteenth century had to find patronage from the wealthy and powerful, who would support them materially in return for music composed expressly for their own use.
While still living in Salzburg, his birthplace, Mozart had the patronage of Hieronymus von Colloredo, Cardinal-Archbishop of Salzburg, and during this time most of his output consisted of liturgical choral music.
By all accounts, however, Colloredo was a difficult employer, and Mozart chafed under what he considered to be repressive working conditions.

His successor, the infamous Hieronymus Colloredo, was elected on March 14, 1772.
Archbishop Colloredo was represented in the movie Amadeus as something of a monster, and this may have been the least inaccurate portrayal in the entire film.[15] He made it clear that the Mozarts, being his employees, were expected to spend virtually all of their time in Salzburg producing music.
The fact is, Colloredo never gave them leave to be away from court at all except for a brief trip to Vienna in 1773 and a command performance of La finta giardiniera in Munich in 1775--the command by the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian Josef, could not be disobeyed, even by an Archbishop.

The new ruler in Salzburg, Hieronymus Colloredo, was influenced by an enlightened approach to sacred music and eager to provide rational and functional access to this sector.
In 1780 Colloredo called for a simpler sacred music and the introduction of German hymns: Mozart's last two Salzburg masses (K. 337) clearly reveal that he found the curtailment of his artistic license unbearable and oppressive.
The early work — the most famous of his Salzburg masses — is known as the Coronation Mass.
