Haydn composed this mass for the Benedictine convent of Frauenwörth on Chiemsee. Completed on 5 August 1793, the work was probably intended for the service accompanying the taking of final vows on 19 August 1793 by the composer's friend Ursula Oswald. This mass represents Haydn's late style, in which a large-scale cyclic unity is achieved through the ongoing transformation and recall of thematic materials among its several movements.
"[This] fine new score of a work significant from a historic viewpoint will no doubt be welcomed by musical amateurs without advanced technical skill who should enjoy adding an attractive unknown composition of the eighteenth-century to their repertoire." Karl Geiringer, Journal of the American Musicological Society, Fall 1963.
