Fiona- 2:44 am?! Wow!
It comes from the Mass in C (Krönungsmesse) with the ending adapted for solo voice because the choir comes in somewhere towards the end. I got it from an album of sacred arias by Mozart(Geistliche Arien :Universal Edition, probably seriously out of print by now).
I didn't know this aria either until someone asked me to sing it. I paged through this album and serendipidously found it. Such a useful addition to one's repertoire!
The album also contains the gem :Laudate Dominum as a solo, with obligato violin.
Regards
Susi
