Talk:Schöpfungsmesse

It is also perhaps the most amusing of the masses when one considers how absurdly irrelevant the text sometimes is, particularly in the Kyrie and the Benedictus (another funny moment is Qui tollis peccata mundi in the Gloria, set to jolly, galloping dactyls). Certainly other composers did it too, such as the Et incarnatus est from Mozart's C minor mass, but only here does Haydn, in the words of Charles Rosen, "[throw] off all inhibition...and [write] a pure symphonic piece".
