The technical demands made on the vocal soloists (and also on the instrumentalists) are no greater in the soli than in the tutti sections. Therefore there ist no need for highly accomplished solo singers; members of the choir can take the solo parts. This Mass can also be performed accompanied only by an organ.

Valentin Rathgeber: Missa Suavis est Dominus

Leichter, gefälliger Stil, eingängige Melodien, und einfache Harmonien strebt Valentin Rathgeber, laut Vorwort, in seiner Kirchenmusik an. Sein Opus 1 ist eine Missa brevis, sie ist „allerdings nicht gedacht für die Chöre der berühmten Kathedralen oder Hauptkirchen zu feierlichen und prunkvollen Aufführungen” (so die Übersetzung des Vorwortes). So ist die Besetzung mit zwei Violinen, vierstimmigen Chor und Basso continuo diesen oben genannten Intentionen angepasst. Die Solistenpartien sind, da nicht allzu schwer, auch aus dem Chor heraus zu bewältigen. Die beschwingte Liebenswürdigkeit und leichte Aufführbarkeit (Kleinstbesetzungen) werden dem Werk zur Verbreitung verhelfen. Ein komplettes Aufführungsmaterial liegt vor.
