Missa Salisburgensis

Multi-choir performance in Salzburg Cathedral, copperplate engraving by Melchior Küsel (1682)

The Missa Salisburgensis à 53 voci is a large-scale baroque mass setting for two vocal and four instrumental choirs (or orchestra) in the style of the Venetian polychoral . The anonymously transmitted composition is now ascribed to Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber ; earlier, Orazio Benevoli or Andreas Hofer were assumed to be the composer. The mass was presumably first performed in 1682 in Salzburg Cathedral on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the diocese of Salzburg (based on the house tradition of St. Peter's Abbey ).

Chat tympana

The text says:

Plaudite tympana, Clangite classica, Fides accinite, Voces applaudite Choro et jubilo Pastori maximo. Applaude patria, Rupertum celebra.

Plaudite tympana, (etc.)

Felix dies ter amoena, Dies voluptatum plena, Qua Rupertum celebramus, Qua patronum honoramus, Dies felicissima. O læta gaude patria, O læte plaude gens, Ruperti super sidera Triumphat alta mens. In angelorum millibus In beatorum plausibus triumphat alta mens. Vive Salisburgum, gaude, Magno patri ter applaude In tympanis et vocibus, In barbitis et plausibus. Vive Salisburgum, gaude, Magno patri ter applaude Rupertum celebra, Pastori jubila.

Plaudite tympana, (etc.)

Translation:

Beat the drums, let the trumpets sound, sing faithfully, applaud, chorus and cheers to the greatest shepherd. Applause home, celebrate St. Rupert.

Beat the drums, (etc.)

Three times happy joyful day, day full of joy, on which we celebrate Rupert, on which we honor our patron, happy day. Oh joyfully rejoice at home, oh joyfully applaud people, beyond the stars Rupert's sublime spirit triumphs. With the angels in their thousands, with the blessed applause, Rupert's sublime spirit triumphs. Live Salzburg, be happy, praise your great father three times with drums and voices, with sounds and clapping. Live Salzburg, rejoice, praise your great father three times, praise Rupert, cheer your shepherd.

Beat the drums, (etc.)
