Johann Baptist Wanhal

Missa in G Nokki 47 [Weinmann XIX:G2]

Wanhal ?
Nokki 47
Weinmann XIX:G2

Authentiity: Probably Authentic

This is one of the works attributed to Wanhal with the most surviving copies. Stylistically, it belongs with the 'Domine Deus' masses, through it setting the phrase 'Domine Deus Agnus Dei' as part of what is otherwise a normal Qui tollis movement. As such, its attribution is beyond reasonable doubt.

Variants

Wanhal's longest works were often abbreviated to be fit into the liturgy more easily. So far two variants are known. A manuscript found in Disentis contains only a selection of the movements found in the full original. Whilst the Kyrie and Gloria movements have been retexted, the remaining sections are incomplete, as the text found in omitted movements has not been added elsewhere; the timpani have been replaced and the trumpets replaced with horns. In a version from Herzogenburg the Christe movement has been omitted and the Kyrie II movement has been cut down considerably.

There is no reason to assume that Wanhal was involved in either of these versions.
