I just realized #mozart s tuba mirum
The 'sonum' is to be the sound you hear from God as you die.
And he is giving the bass the challenge of showing that with the voice....first off, it is as long as I want it to be.
With two counted measures of sostenuto* fermata, and all twelve tones in a single stanza
That's beyond just genius
I call myself vox of God, not as a brag, just that it's my job and I'm referring to how we always get the quotation marks:
Thus saith the Lord the Lord of Hosts, "Yet once a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth"
For example
But I just realized that the best example of that quality that is supposed to make people feel God (a life's work and full time job that is a humbling privilege and joy to live)
*Two measures of four is the perfect length for a messa di voce (crescendo - decrescendo) it's the hardest thing to do vocally and encompasses the range of volume one can produce
**The entrance of the basso in Handel's Messiah.
