The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death on December 5. A completion dated 1792 by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a Requiem Mass to commemorate the February 14 anniversary of his wife's death.

The Süssmayr completion of the Requiem is divided into fourteen movements, with the following structure:

I. Introitus
Requiem (choir and soprano solo) (D minor)
Kyrie, Bruno Walter, 1956.
II. Kyrie (choir) (D minor)
III. Sequentia (text based on sections of the Dies Irae)
Dies irae (choir) (D minor)
Tuba mirum (soprano, contralto, tenor and bass solo) (B-flat major)
Rex tremendae (choir) (G minor–D minor)
Recordare (soprano, contralto, tenor and bass solo) (F major)
Confutatis (choir) (A minor–F major, last chord V of D minor)
Lacrimosa (choir) (D minor)
IV. Offertorium
Domine Jesu (choir with solo quartet) (G minor)
Hostias (choir) (E-flat major–G minor)
V. Sanctus (choir) (D major)
VI. Benedictus (solo quartet and choir) (B-flat major)
VII. Agnus Dei (choir) (D minor–B-flat major)
VIII. Communio
Lux aeterna (soprano solo and choir) (B-flat major–D minor)

Requiem in D Minor K. 626: Lacrimosa (Instrumental)

Morton Feldman - Clarinet and String Quartet CD (SLT-002)

Saltern returns with a gorgeous new recording of Morton Feldman’s Clarinet and String Quartet (1983) performed by Anthony Burr (clarinet), Graeme Jennings (violin), Gascia Ouzounian (violin), Che-Yen Chen (viola) and Charles Curtis (cello). This performance highlights Feldman’s interest in notation by treating the slight differences in intonation and rhythm literally and specifically. Recorded by Tom Erbe in the living room of a friend of the musicians. Edition of 400. Housed in jackets printed at Stoughton and featuring a cover image by artist Raha Raissnia.

From Anthony Burr and Charles Curtis’ liner notes: “Near the end of the final Contrapunctus in The Art Of Fugue, Bach introduces a new four-note countersubject which, in the German note names, spells B, A, C, H (in our note names, B-flat, A, C, B-natural). To those within Bach's circle, and probably to any attentive musician of his day, the notes thus sounded would have unmistakably articulated Bach's name -- an embedded signature, not just a melodic motif but a salutation in musical code. Morton Feldman begins Clarinet and String Quartet with the same four notes in reverse order -- H, C, A, B, if you will. These four notes are repeated over and over by the clarinet and the cello simultaneously, the two instruments in minutely different rhythms and phrasings. These notes, however, are given anomalous names: in the cello, B, D-double flat, G-double sharp, A-sharp; and in the clarinet, C-flat, C, A, B-flat. Whether or not Feldman placed the retrograde B, A, C, H motif intentionally, it fits seamlessly into the pitch world of his late music, in which chromatic clusters (often four notes) are obsessively restated in different permutations, like anagrams.”

very proud of our new album on Kraak called "Endrhymes"
brilliant drawings by our friend Bryan Lewis Saunders
this is the opening tune; "Reaper"
physical copies are expected february 2016
"four pieces of hardcore melodic minimalism and raw dystopian deep listening" as the press quote goes, and we agree.
