Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the present Missa solemnis in C minor K. 139 (47a) in the fall of 1768 in Vienna, where the Waisenhaus church on the Rennweg was consecrated on 7 December 1768. Together with the Missa brevis in G K. 49 (47d) written at about the same time the work is one of the first Mass settings of the then 12-year-old composer.The first editions of both Masses were published by Breitkopf & Hartel in 1877 within the Complete Edition Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Werke.
