[2] Tambling was commissioned to write a mass setting for the Pueri Cantores [de] boys' choirs of the Diocese of Würzburg, requesting a melodic work, easy to perform and of a joyful disposition ("freudige Grundhaltung").

[4] The mass was first published in 2010 by Dr. J. Butz with a dedication to the Pueri Cantores in the Würzburg diocese.

[11] It was recommended by the association for church music in South Tyrol as a good entry in mass literature.

[6] The mass is structured in four movements, omitting a Credo, and combining Sanctus and Benedictus:[5] In the early version, the vocal parts are one or two high voices, soprano and optional soprano II,[5] while in the later version they are four voices SATB.

[12] The composer is credited with knowing exactly what young singers are capable to sing and like to sing: "beautiful melodic lines, and both rousing and soulful passages" ("wunderschöne melodische Linien oder mal mitreißende, mal gefühlvolle Passagen").
