Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the present Missa in C K. 66 in Salzburg in October 1769 for the first mass held by Father Dominicus (Cajetan Hagenauer,1746-1811), who was friends with Mozart.
The Dominicus Mass, just like the Waisenhaus Mass in c K. 139 (47a) written shortly before, belongs to the genre of the missa solemnis, which was traditionally performed at festive occasions.
The first edition of the Dominicus Mass was published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1877 within the Complete Edition Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Werke.
