The present volume of the Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition (BMCE) contains two vocal-instrumental works. The"Field Mass"(1939) with a text by Jiri Mucha incorporating bible and liturgy quotes was created in reaction to the outbreak of the Second World War and intended for outdoor performances. The cantata"The Spectre's Bride"with a text by Karel Jaromir Erben was composed in 1932 as part of the ballet"Spalicek"(meaning"chapbook"); the composer later took out the cantata, making it into a stand-alone concert piece.
The autograph scores served as primary sources for both works. The edition of the"Field Mass"(including its performance materials) also contains the original version of the ending with a quote from the Czech medieval hymn"Jezu Kriste, stedry kneze"("Jesu Christ, bountiful priest") and a number of contemporary translations.
