In the Gloria and the Credo, Mozart eschews the traditional concluding fugues. Despite being a missa brevis, the Agnus Dei is very long and there is "a prolonged setting for soloists and choir of 'Dona nobis pacem', ending piano." The Dona nobis is set as a gavotte, "like a vaudeville, and has been compared with the specimen of this genre at the end of Die Entführung."
The premiere probably took place on December 21, 1777, with castrato Francesco Ceccarelli among the soloists singled out for praise for his performance. Elsewhere church musicians were offended, such as those at Wasserburg am Inn, who found Mozart's setting "an open mockery of the holy text."
