The masses of Johann Michael Haydn are masterworks in the church music repertoire and they were widely appreciated during his lifetime, as is proved by the many copies made of them. The Missa Sancti Dominici belongs, through its mooring with trumpets and drums, in the category of the missa solemnis. It also owes its tonal splendour partly to the richness of its compositional process, marked by sometimes rapid alternation between choral and solo passages. This is a richly rewarding, fascinating work for accomplished choirs to perform, not only at festive services.
