The
Missa pastoralis bohemica
(Bohemian Shepherds'
Mass), composed in 1796
by Mozart's contemporary
Jakub Jan Ryba, is the
most significant of the
so-called Czech Christmas
Masses. These are masses
in a folkloristic style,
in which the individual
movements consist of a
series of
vocal-instrumental scenes
in the Czech language;
their topic is the birth
of Christ and they are
performed during the
Christmas service. The
story is about four Czech
shepherds to whom the
birth of Christ is
announced, whereupon they
visit the child in the
manger. Ryba's mass
became so famous that it
is regarded - even today
- as a symbol of Czech
Christmas. The present
critical edition
represents the first
edition of the work in
its original form and the
original keys; it
contains a singable
alternate text in German.
