The only surviving mass by Nicolai is a very important contribution to church music. It is characterized by its structural variety and its singability. At the same time it offers a genuine alternative to other settings of the Mass for worship services. The Carus Urtext edition renders the final Viennese version of this cheerful, festive mass.

Translation (abridged): David Kosviner… a composer of worthy sacred music
The composer Otto Nicolai, born in Königsberg, Prussia in 1810, was a Protestant through and through and served as a church musician in Prussia. Although he did feel a certain degree of sympathy towards the Catholic Church, a conversion was out of the question for him. What could have caused him to compose Catholic church music?
In the summer of 1832, Nicolai travelled to Poznań to meet with his father; it was their first meeting since the young Otto had fled from his father’s extremely harsh methods of education more than six years previously and made his way to Berlin.

Der 1810 im preußischen Königsberg geborene Komponist Otto Nicolai war Protestant durch und durch und stand als Kirchenmusiker in preußischen Diensten. Zwar hatte er gewisse Sympathien für die katholische Kirche, doch stand eine Konversion für ihn außer Frage. Was mag ihn nur dazu veranlasst haben, katholische Kirchenmusik zu schreiben?

Der jugendliche Otto war damals vor den sehr harschen Erziehungsmethoden seines Vater geflohen und hatte sich nach Berlin durchgeschlagen. In Carl Friedrich Zelter hatte er dort einen Mentor gefunden, der ihm ein Studium am
