The Missa Cellensis in C major (Hob. XXII:8, originally Missa Cellensis Fatta per il Signor Liebe de Kreutzner) is Joseph Haydn's eighth setting of the mass. In German it is regularly named Mariazellermesse. It was composed in 1782 and is Haydn's last setting of the mass before his six late great masses. Haydn dedicated this work to the pilgrimage of Mariazell in Styria, as he had done with his earlier Missa Cellensis in honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae which was composed in 1766–1773. The Mass was commissioned by the officer Anton Liebe von Kreutzner on the occasion of his ennoblement.
