    Does anyone know what this is: http://www2.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Miserere_mei,_Deus_(Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart) ?

    When I tried to do a google search, all I could find were references to the Allegri Miserere that Mozart was involved with. This composition is given a date that seems to correspond to the Allegri piece, but this clearly is not an arrangement of that work. Did Mozart write his own Miserere or is this likely an imposter?

    It is an authentic work by Mozart (K. 85) composed in 1770. Evidently it was written as an counterpoint exercise in Bologna when he was studying with Padre G. B. Martini.

    The score from the critical edition of Mozart's complete works (the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe): see Series I, vol 11. It's one of a group of short 3-part Latin sacred works.
