Mazak created more than 300 compositions. He wrote
masses,
litanies,
offertories,
antiphons,
psalms and sacred
cantatas. The instruments he used most were the
violin, the
trumpet, the
bassoon, the
viola da gamba, the
cornet and the
sackbut. His compositions, predominantly
motets, collected under the title
Cultus harmonicus, were published by him in
Vienna, Opus I in 1649, Opus Minus (II) in 1650 and Opus Maius (III) in 1653. The last one is missing today. •
