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; St. Nicholas is the patron saint of the parish church in Mauthausen.
Less than two months passed from the initial idea (December 1991) to the completion of the Mass (January 1992). The work was finally premiered on Ascension Day 1992 in the parish church of Mauthausen.
Since then, the Mass has become widely known. 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 St. Hubert text, and a "neutral" text for all occasions. Several text variations are also offered for the call before the Gospel. For this new edition, I have taken 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, which is very familiar to me. With this opening text (2b) and the Hallelujah verse (5/8), the Mass can now be celebrated during the Christmas service.
It is essential that the congregation be included 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 the texts be adapted to your own dialect in terms of pronunciation. Anything else would sound artificial.
