This setting by the Lutheran Johann Gottlieb Graun follows the Dresden Kyrie/Gloria models composed for the Catholic court church of that era, which is not surprising since Graun studied violin and composition in Dresden with Pisendel. After study with Tartini, Graun returned to Dresden in the mid 1720s. There, he would have had ample opportunity to absorb the style of Catholic church music during the era when Heinichen was the Dresden Kapellmeister. The inclusion of three oboes in the Quoniam of this mass (scored for solo soprano, strings, two horns, three oboes, and continuo) reflects the scoring (especially the use of three oboes) for Catholic sacred music by Heinichen and Zelenka in the mid 1720s. ‘Cum Sancto Spiritu’ is composed as a double fugue.
This work is catalogued by John Whitfield Grubbs in ‘The Sacred Vocal Music of the Graun Brothers’, II, 979–93.
