This Mass was originally composed in 1942 as an organ Mass but was later re-scored for soloists, mixed chorus and organ. It was first performed in 1945 immediately following the final siege of Budapest, in the only undamaged part - the cloakroom of the Budapest Opera House, where the composer and his wife had been sheltering during the last desperate days of World War II; the present writer was amongst the audience at this performance.
