Mass in D major
Arrangement for wind quintet (arr. J. Linckelmann) op. 86, 1887/2013
Originally composed for soli, choir and organ, Antonín Dvorák’s Mass in D major first became popular in the composer’s later version with orchestral accompaniment. Besides the original version with organ or orchestra the arrangement for wind quintet by Joachim Linckelmann (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon) offers a third version. Its colorful, chamber music-like instrumental scoring presents an ensemble whose size is ideal for a typical church or chamber choir, so that this beautiful work can now be performed in concert by smaller choirs.
All the vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are identical with the orchestral version by Dvorak, so that the vocal scores and choral scores from that version can be used.

Frequent questions about this work
Can I also use the “normal” vocal score /03 and the choral score /05 from the full-scale version to sing the version presented here?
Yes, the vocal parts are absolutely identical, and therefore the vocal scores and choral scores are compatible with both versions.
Is the choral score of the organ version also compatible with the arrangement for wind quintet?
Unfortunately not. Although there are no major differences between the two versions, there are numerous smaller ones, also in the chorus. Vocal scores or choral scores from the orchestral version (Carus 40.653) are required to sing the wind version.
