Bardic song about Gibraltar: Oh, Calpe! High chair at your feet), K. Anh. 25/386d, is the title of an unfinished fragment for voice and piano composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 to commemorate the Great Siege of Gibraltar. The lyrics of the song are the work of the Austrian poet and bibliographer Michael Denis (1729–1800 ).
Mozart never visited Gibraltar and his homeland, Austria, was not involved in the war between Spain, Britain and France, which included the Great Siege. However, since Mozart was Austrian, and Gibraltar had been taken in 1704 by the Great Alliance of Powers on behalf of the Archduke of Austria, when the Great Siege occurred between the same opponents when, eighty years earlier, Austria was an ally of the defenders. Furthermore, Mozart did not feel much affection towards the French; On the contrary, he had a certain affection for the British, and two of his English students were among his favorites.
