The Missa in honorem Sanctissimae Trinitatis in
C major,
K. 167, is a
mass composed by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in June 1773.
[1] It is scored for
SATB choir,
violin I and II, 2
oboes, 2 clarini (high
trumpets), 2
trumpets,
timpani and
basso continuo.
A
solemn mass,
[2] its name ("in honour of the
Most Holy Trinity") and date indicate that it was likely to have been composed for
Trinity Sunday, for use in
Salzburg's
Dreifaltigkeitskirche [
de] (Trinity Church).
[3] This is Mozart's only wholly
choral mass setting, excluding all
solo vocalists.

Einstein contends that this may have been done in order to achieve brevity, following the directive of
Archbishop Colloredo.
