History
František Xaver Brixi, or Franz Xaver Brixi, became Regens chori (choir director) of Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral in 1759 at age 27 and held the position unto his death in 1771.[1] He was a prolific composer of music for the liturgy, who wrote more than 100 masses,[1] vespers and motets, among others. He also composed secular music such as oratorios and incidental music, concertos and symphonies.[2]
He composed the Missa brevis in C, a setting of the Latin
fugal passages, and its optimistic mood.[1]
Some sources have the name as Missa aulica (Court mass), which is also applied to Mozart's Missa solemnis in C, K. 337.[1]
The mass was first published by Carus in 2003.[3][4]
