Missa Brevis

Missa Brevis
(Lat. "Short mass")
   A polyphonic setting of mass ordinaries of short duration. This might be achieved by setting the texts syllabically, or by having different parts of longer prayers sung simultaneously by different voices in the choir. In 17th- and 18th-century Lutheran contexts, missa brevis indicates a setting of the Kyrie (in Greek) and Gloria (in Latin). Five such settings, including the first version of the Mass in B Minor, were composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.
