Best Answer

The lyrics are from an oratorio, and they are latin. They have been used by Saint-Saens, Bach, and Schubert.

"Tollite hostias, et adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus. Laetentur coeli, et exultet terra a facie Domini, quoniam venit. Alleluia."

It is a biblical passage, Psalm 95 (96):9-13.

"Bring offerings and worship the Lord in his holy habitation. Let the heavens rejoice and the earth exult in the presence of the Lord, for he comes. Hallelujah."

"Tollite hostias" means "bring an offering." It comes from the Psalms: "Bring an offering and enter his courts," and is the subject of a famous Christmas motet by Camille Saint-Saens.

When did Mozart write the Hostias?

1791. He wrote initial violin part, then just the vocal and organ parts subsequently. It is the last piece of music that he had any personal input in as he died shortly thereafter (the Quam olim fugue was also written mainly by Mozart). The orchestration for Hostias as well as the Sanctus and Agnus Dei movements for the Requiem were completed by Franz Süssmayr who was a student of Mozart's. The final part of the Requiem which Mozart completed in its entirety was the Confutatis movement as well as the first 8 bars of the Lacrimosa (the part which ends with "Judicandus homo reus" for the first time).
