Uber 100 Auffuhrungen unmittelbar nach der Urauffuhrung, eine bis heute ungebrochene Prasenz in den Konzertsalen und im Repertoire von Jugendmusikschulen: das Weihnachtsliederspiel Christnacht des grossen Komponisten und Padagogen, bei dem eine ganze Generation junger Komponisten wie Unger, Jochum, Bresgen und Hartmann 'in die Lehre' ging, gehort zu den Klassikern des geistlichen Spiels. Haas hatte den Mangel an auch fur Laien spiel- und singbarer Oratorienliteratur zur Weihnachtszeit beklagt. 'Nichts lag naher, als die altbekannten lieben weihnachtlichen Volksweisen zu einem einheitlichen Liederspiel zu vereinigen. Als ich den Plan durchdachte, wurde es mir klar, dass sich nur solche Melodien, die der gleichen deutschen Landschaft angehoren, zu einem stilistisch einwandfreien Organismus verbinden konnen. Der mir befreundete Munchener Gesangspadagoge, Professor Anton Schiegg, ein grundlicher Kenner suddeutscher Volkskunst, machte mich auf den kostbaren Schatz der bezaubernden oberbayerischen und tiroler Krippenlieder aufmerksam', so beschreibt Joseph Haas die Anregung zu seinem Spiel.

Particularly during the early 1740s, Johann Sebastian Bach concentrated intensely on studying the compositional technique of strict vocal polyphony. As an inspiration, he studied the works of older masters, copying them and, for the most part, performing them as well. A set of single parts for the Missa canonica by Francesco Gasparini in an instrumentation by Bach were recently discovered in the collection of the former Ephoralbibliothek Weissenfels; some of the parts are in Bach's own handwriting. Gasparini was esteemed in Germany particularly as a master of elaborate counterpoint and audacious harmonic writing. Bach amended the music text with a view to certain aspects of performance practice, clearly following a very specific concept of sound organization. His interest in strict counterpoint was paralleled by a tangible re-orientation in Bach's own compositional technique at the beginning of the 1740s. Francesco Gasparini's Missa canonica therefore served as a practical model for the highly developed art of canon writing and the strict polyphony in Bach's late works, as we encounter them, for example, in the B minor Mass. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3550300.
