When Joseph Haydn took over the direction of the Esterházy Chapel in 1766 after the death of his predecessor Gregor Joseph Werner, he began composing his first and most extensive Missa solemnis. The title "Missa Cellensis" (later also "Cäcilien-Messe") and the date on an autograph score indicate that the work was probably commissioned by Prince Nicolaus Esterházy for the forthcoming six-hundredth anniversary of the pilgrimage church in Mariazell in Styria. In terms of instrumentation and form, the mass is still in the late Baroque tradition of the "Mass of Numbers". In contrast to the previous mixed versions from various sources, the Carus edition follows the authentic (original) version according to the most reliable sources.
