Description:
A dialect mass for mixed a cappella choir. Introductions for organ or wind quartet (optional). Text variations for various occasions, making the mass well-suited for use as a Christmas mass, among other things.
The history of the "St. Nicholas Mass" began in 1991. At that time, the well-known and beloved Upper Austrian dialect poet Prof. Leopold Wandl and I decided to create a "St. Nicholas Mass." Like me, Leopold Wandl was born in Mauthausen, and St. Nicholas is the patron saint of the parish church in Mauthausen.
Less than two months passed between the initial idea (December 1991) and the completion of the mass (January 1992). The work ultimately premiered on Ascension Day 1992 in the parish church of Mauthausen.
The Mass has since become widely performed. A new edition of the Mass has now become necessary. It is a happy coincidence that it is being published in the very year Leopold Wandl would have turned 90. I would like to dedicate it to him in fond memory.
Leopold Wandl himself had already written several alternative texts for the opening hymn so that the Mass could be used in a variety of contexts. Thus, there is a text referring to St. Nicholas, a text for St. Hubert, and a "neutral" text suitable for all occasions. Several text variations are also offered for the call before the Gospel. For this new edition, I took the liberty of creating a text variation for the opening hymn that allows it to be used as a Christmas Mass. I have tried to stay as close as possible to Wandl’s language, with which I am very familiar. With this opening text (2b) and the Alleluia verse (5/8), the Mass can now be used during Christmas services.
It is essential to involve the congregation in the Hallelujah acclamation. The Hallelujah acclamation can be found in the new *Gotteslob* (No. 244)! The verses are intended as alternatives and can be selected depending on the occasion.
This edition includes the preludes (and the accompaniment for the "Hallelujah" call) for organ. A separate part set (AH 2.003/5) is available for performances with wind instruments.
A few notes on pronunciation: The Mass is written in the Upper Austrian dialect—more precisely, in the dialect of the Mühlviertel region. It is expressly recommended that you adapt the pronunciation of the texts to your own dialect. Anything else would sound artificial.
