Johann Ernst Eberlin was the foremost personality in the musical life of Salzburg before Mozart, who later respectfully praised the richness of ideas in Eberlin's compositions, a feature of this short, festively scored Mass. Its polyphonic texture and rhythmical verve give it an exciting character, which is heightened by its scoring with trumpets and timpani.
