The Missa in honorem Sanctissimae Trinitatis in C major, K. 167, is a mass composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in June 1773.[1] It is scored for SATB choir, violin I and II, 2 oboes, 2 clarini (high trumpets), 2 trumpets, timpani and basso continuo.

A solemn mass,[2] its name ("in honour of the Most Holy Trinity") and date indicate that it was likely to have been composed for Trinity Sunday, for use in Salzburg's Trinity Church.[3] This is Mozart's only wholly choral mass setting, excluding all solo vocalists.[3][4] Einstein contends that this may have been done in order to achieve brevity, following the directive of Archbishop Colloredo.[5]

The work consists of six movements. Performances require approximately 25–30 minutes.

  1. "Kyrie" Allegro, C major, common time
  2. "Gloria" Allegro, C major, 3/4
