Mayr's music stands on the cusp between the Classical and Romantic eras. The expressive lyrical qualities in his religious music reflects a career in which he composed nearly 70 operas. The Messa solenne follows the Italian tradition of messa concertata and contains the full ordinary - a rarity for Mayr's output in this genre. The work's polyphonic sections made an especially lasting impression on churchgoers of the time.
