The music talent of composer and Benedictine monk from Lambach, Salzburg and Säben, Father Romanus Weichlein remains in the shadow of his great contemporaries, Schmelzer, Biber and Muffat. His work, a typical Austrian baroque mass in “stilus solenne” as can be seen by the numerous wind instruments called for, as well as by the presence of a six-part choir, was kept in the monastery of Kremsmünster in unpublished separate parts. Its complexity was first revealed in the course of the preparation of the score in 2005! It remains one of the old gems, many of which are still hidden in monastery libraries!
