The Messe für den Gründonnerstag (Mass for Maundy Thursday), WAB 9, is a missa brevis composed by Anton Bruckner in 1844.
Bruckner composed the Messe für den Gründonnerstag, a Choral-Messe in F major (WAB 9) for mixed choir a cappella, in 1844 while he was a schoolteacher's assistant in Kronstorf. Bruckner dedicated the work to A.M.D.G.
The work, the manuscript of which is stored in the archive of Wels, was first published in band I, pp. 258–274 of the Göllerich/Auer biography. Thereafter, only the Gradual Christus factus est was issued by Anton Böhm & Sohn in 1931, so that the work was listed by Grasberger as Christus factus est, WAB 9.
The full setting of the mass is published in volume XXI/5 of the Gesamtausgabe.
The work is divided into six parts:
Total duration: about 10 minutes.
On the front page of Bruckner's manuscript is written:
In front of page 3 of the manuscript is written In coena Domini (At the Last Supper)
This Missa brevis exhibits as the previous Kronstorfer Messe relationships to Palestrina's style. It contained originally no Kyrie or Gloria, but included the Gradual Christus factus est and the Offertory Dextera Domini proper for the feast. Only the first part of the Credo is composed, until "descendit de caelis". The Sanctus is a slightly modified version of the Sanctus of the Kronstorfer Messe.
As also in the following Missa solemnis, Mass No. 1 and Mass No. 2 the first verse of the Credo is not composed and has to be intoned by the priest in Gregorian mode before the choir is going on.
The extra fugated Kyrie and Gloria, which were composed in 1845, have been lost.
The text of Dextera Domini is derived from Psalm 117 in the Vulgata (Psalms 118:16–17).
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem, Dextera Domini exaltavit me. Non moriar, sed vivam, et narrabo opera Domini.
The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength; The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
