Many thanks to Mozart for stealing this priceless music from the Vatican (a theocracy which should be nuked in my opinion).
The fourteen-year-old Mozart was visiting Rome, when he first heard the piece during the Wednesday service. Later that day, he wrote it down entirely from memory, returning to the Chapel that Friday to make minor corrections.
