The names given to Michael Haydn's masses are related to the specific commission or the dedicatee of the composition. For example, Haydn composed the "Missa in honorem Sti. Gotthardi", also known as the "Admont Mass", for Admont Abbey in Styria and its abbot Gotthard Kuglmayr. The mass combines formal concentration with liturgical purpose. Haydn's intense preoccupation with the genre is evident in the song-like melody, the unity of the motivic material and the balanced harmony of festive and lyrical sections. Due to its length and orchestral scoring, this mass corresponds to the Missa solemnis type. Fugues and fugal movements are completely absent, as is any contrapuntal or imitative writing. Haydn thus accommodates the required comprehensibility of the liturgical text.
