Bohemian-Czech music has always been famous for it’s melodious, extrovert style and lively rhythms. Even the Bohemian church music, which often contains folk-like elements, has this character. With the first publication of the three-voice a-cappella mass by the Prague composer and violin virtuoso Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda, Carus extends it’s Bohemian-Czech repertoire by yet another work: a smooth, predominantly syllabic short mass setting (approx. 13 Minutes), probably composed in the 185s for the court of the Prince of Fürstenberg, the impressionable G major Mass (with the complete text of the traditional mass) tailor made for being performed in a small court. Described by the composer as "short three-voice Mass, within the range of two octaves."
