Hens chel's O salutaris Hostia was originally issued as an appendix to his Missa ad octo voces inaequales, Op. 65 originally published in 1920 by the London firm of Bayley & Ferguson. This was not the work's first outing, however. In 1918, Bailey & Ferguson published a setting of this mass in English (Communion Service: Mass in C, for Eight Voices a Cappella, Op. 65), where it was also published as an appendix. The only difference between the 1918 and 1920 editions is the bass underlay in bars 9-10; we have reproduced the later version here.

Our source for the present edition of his Missa ad octo voces inaequales, Op. 65 is that issued in 1920 by the London firm of Bayley & Ferguson. This was not the work's first outing, however. In 1918, Bailey & Ferguson published a setting of this mass in English (Communion Service: Mass in C, for Eight Voices a Cappella, Op. 65, also published by Crescendo Music Publications), with movements ordered according to the Prayer Book. Perhaps to allow the work a larger audience, Henschel slightly modified the music to fit the Latin syllabification and reordered the movements, but essentially the work is as it was two years earlier.

Our edition includes a full list of editorial changes and corrections. Also available is a version which omits the Credo, for churches where it is sung congregationally.

Equali were works written for equal, or similar, instruments; in the eighteenth century they were almost always used for funeral services and usually employed a quartet of trombones. The most famous of these were the three Beethoven wrote for the Linz Cathedral in Austria on All Soul's Day 1812. Two of these were adapted later for male voices and were sung at Beethoven's funeral.

These pieces are some of the most famous works for trombones, no doubt due to the fact that they were composed by Beethoven. They were commissioned by Franz Xaver Gloggl, Kappelmeister of the city of Linz, while Beethoven was visiting his brother. According to later accounts by Gloggl's son, although his father had a complete collection of trombones (soprano, alto, tenor, bass or quart) the three Equali were performed by a traditional quartet of alto, tenor and bass trombones.

This edition offers a compromise: the original score and parts are given exactly as written in the complete works, and a version designed for the less experienced players: the three movements are transposed down one step, edited with minor musical suggestions, and all four parts are written in bass clef.

Dr. Mathie has done the Trombone world a great service in bringing this great work in its two forms to publication.
