context_page_description: The Missa solemnis in C major, K. 66, is a mass composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1769. It is scored for SATB soloists and choir, violins I and II, viola, 2 oboes, 2 horns, 2 clarini, 2 trumpets and basso continuo.
  Mozart composed the mass for the ordination of Cajetan Hagenauer, son of Lorenz Hagenauer, the Mozarts' landlord and family friend. Cajetan had entered St Peter's Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, whilst the Mozarts were on their grand tour. When he became a priest in 1769, he took the name Pater Dominicus and celebrated his first solemn high mass; this gives the work its nickname, Dominicusmesse. Leopold Mozart conducted the première on 15 October to a packed church in Salzburg; it is thought that the success of this performance led to Wolfgang's first Italian tour.
  Due to its length, the mass is classified as a missa solemnis. It is divided into six movements.
  1. Kyrie Adagio, C major, common time
  — "Kyrie eleison" Allegro, C major, 3/4
  2. Gloria Allegro moderato, C major, 3/4
  — "Laudamus te" Andante grazioso, F major, 2/4; soprano/alto duet
  — "Gratias agimus tibi" Adagio, C major, common time
  — "Propter magnam gloriam tuam" Allegro, C major, common time
