The present volume of the Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition (BMCE) contains two vocal-instrumental works. TheField Mass(1939) with a text by Jiri Mucha incorporating bible and liturgy quotes was created in reaction to the outbreak of the Second World War and intended for outdoor performances. The cantataThe Spectre's Bridewith a text by Karel Jaromir Erben was composed in 1932 as part of the balletSpalicek(meaningchapbook); the composer later took out the cantata, making it into a stand-alone concert piece.
The autograph scores served as primary sources for both works. The edition of theField Mass(including its performance materials) also contains the original version of the ending with a quote from the Czech medieval hymnJezu Kriste, stedry kneze(Jesu Christ, bountiful priest) and a number of contemporary translations.
