Abstract
Master fields are formulated for finite N-QCD3+1. They satisfy classical Yang-Mills equations with an infinite number of internal indices and an infinite number of constraints. Master fields and constraints on them in the large N limit are derived from the finite N master fields and constraints using vacuum dominance among color singlet states. The large N constraints can be explicitly solved and the solutions involve arbitrary functions which are used as trial functions in variational calculations.
