Despite all of its folk-line simplicity of melody, Haydn's first mass contains a pious note that, just like its youthful verve, still was to hold fascination for him in his late years when, in 1805, he re-orchestrated his first work. The first version of the mass is considered to have been composed in 1749 or 1750. It was around the same time that Pope Benedict XIV treated questions concerning church music in his encyclical Annus qui in which he condemned the frequently operatic style of church music and demanded liturgical music that revealed an awareness of its religious purpose and that sought to fulfill it with simple means of musical expression. In its liturgical attitude Haydn's first mass is anchorded in this point of view (that to a great extent corresponded to the general standpoint of the churches of the eighteenth century).

The motet O Jesu, te invocamus arose through an adaptation of the text of the final chorus of Joseph Haydn's Applausus, a festive cantata composed in 1768. For church music performances, the Latin text O Jesu, te invocamus was closely attached to the primary text and often only single words were replaced. The German alternative text Allmachtiger, Preis dir und Ehre, for which there was neither a biblical nor a liturgical basis, was added to the Latin text. Score available separately - see item CA.5199300.

The Mass Rorate coeli desuper may be one of Joseph Haydn's earliest works, but its attribution to Haydn is disputed. This short mass setting is based on the complete ordinary of the mass. Because of this it is suitable both for the so-called Rorate masses (which lack the Credo) as well as for Sunday masses during Advent (which lack the Gloria). The full score contains at the same time the organ part. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4060200.

Joseph Haydn made two settings of the Ambrosian song of praise the Te Deum. The second of these is a work of Haydn's last period and was written around 1800 for the Empress Marie Therese. Its large orchestra gives this work, which makes no use of solo singers, a particular splendour of sound akin to that of the choruses in Haydn's Creation.

Haydn entered the motet Non nobis Domine in the catalogue of his works as an Offertorium in stilo a cappella. Its strictly contrapuntal style, which Haydn had learned as a choirboy at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, suggests the liturgical use of this work during Advent or Lent.

The late Austin Lovelace arranged this setting of the foundational text from John using the Kyrie of Missa Sancti Nicolai (Mass No. 6 in G) by Haydn. All of the grace one would expect from the music of the Austrian master composer is present in Lovelace’s adaptation.  .

For the revival in the Burgtheater, Vienna in March 1784, Haydn modernized his oratorio Il ritorno di Tobia. He added the choruses Ah, gran Dio and Svanisce in un momento, the second of which, called Der Sturm, was reworked in the sacred motet Insanae et vanae curae. This was an authentic or an authorized parody. Score available separately - see item CA.5199500.
