The Credo of this mass features the "Do-Re-Fa-Mi" motif from the hymn Lucis creator,[1] which Mozart later used as the main theme to the final of his Jupiter Symphony.[2] Due to its repetition of this theme, it is classed as a Credo Mass[3] and is often known as the Kleine (small) Credo Mass to distinguish it from the Great Credo Mass, K. 257.[4]
