Kommentar:

On the feast-day of St Norbert, on June 6, will be performed a vocal- and instrumental-massin grand style exhibition by one of the former members of the Strahov Order, Gerlach Strnischě. This Mass was not performed due to its difficulties and because of the demands upon the performers, for 25 years. This composer left behind many other tasteful compositions in ecclesiastical styles that are preserved in manuscript in the archives and, as we hear, at the express wish of the departed, have never been made public.’
