Missa brevis in C (Brixi)

The Missa brevis in C is a composition by František Xaver Brixi. The missa brevis is a setting of the Tridentine Mass for SATB soloists and choir, trumpets, timpani, strings and organ. Manuscripts were held in several monasteries in today's Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. It was published by Dr. J. Butz in 2004.

History
František Xaver Brixi became regens chori (choir director) and kapellmeister of Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral in 1759 at age 27 and held the position until his death in 1771. It has been described as marked by a balanced mix of homophony and polyphony, with cantabile solos. It is short enough for use in church services, and recommended as an alternative to other works from the classical period. == References ==
