Joseph Haydn's "Missa in B flat" with the nickname "Mass of Creation", the fifth of his six late Missae solemnes, was composed in just six weeks in 1801. Like all of his great masses, he composed this one on behalf of his employer Prince Nikolaus II Esterházy for the name day of the prince's wife. The nickname "Creation Mass" - referring to Haydn's oratorio "The Creation", which had premiered three years earlier - is not authentic, but is probably based on a quote in the Gloria from the duet "Holde Gattin, dir zu Seite". The mass shows Haydn at the height of his compositional development; it is largely through-composed, the vocal quartet increasingly takes the place of aria-like passages, the motivic-thematic work determines both the vocal and the independently acting instrumental parts.
