Franz Joseph Haydn: Mass In B-flat: Mixed Choir: Part

Great Organ Mass Hob. XXII:4-Mass in E-flat major (Great Organ Mass) Hob.XXII:4In honorem Beatissimae Virginis MariaeFollowing his “Jugendmesse” from 1749 church music played only a secondary role in Haydn’s creative output. It was not until 1766 with the “Cäcilienmesse” and again in 1768-69 with the “Great Organ Mass” that Haydn returned to this genre of composition.This Mass in E-flat major belongs to the same period as the “Sturm-und- Drang” symphonies. Some of the remarkable features of this period are reflected here in the expansion of expression combinedwith a new very original musical language. The score also contains the traditional Viennese trumpet and timpani parts although it is extremely unlikely that they stem from Haydn. As Haydn at least tolerated these parts the performance material contains both the original as well as the expanded versions.- Hadyn’s 'Sturm-und-Drang' Mass- Performable in both versions- Clear and straightforward vocal score- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts (BA4646) and vocal score (BA4646-90) available for sale

He seems to have asked his friend Joseph Haydn to write a festive “thankoffering” in the form of a Mass for the famous pilgrimage church of Mariazell in Styria. Haydn began the work in 1782 and recently the original parts to the Missa Cellensis were found in the organ loft of the splendid baroque church at Mariazell.Haydn’s “Mariazellermesse” has always been one of his most popular works. The “Volkstümlichkeit” (which one might translate as “down to-earthiness”) the miraculous fusion of polyphonic forms with the language and form of the Vienna classical school – note that the Kyrie is in sonata form with shortened recapitulation and coda – the brilliant orchestration to which the trumpets and drums contribute so much festive joyousness: all these have won the hearts of audiences everywhere whenever the Mass was given.- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts and vocal score available for sale

Heilig-Messe-Bernard of Offida 1604 1694 was a Capuchin monk whose saintly life and devotion to the sick and poor caused him to be beatified by Pope Pius VI on 19 May 1795. St. Bernard?s name day falls on the 11th of September (a Saturday in 1797) and it is generally thought that Haydn combined doing honour to the Capuchin monk with the production of a new Mass for his patron the day thereafter.Apparently later performances in Eisenstadt added horns to double the trumpets in the tuttis and just as in the previous Mass the clarinet parts were enlarged; it is almost certain that the new clarinet parts are either by Haydn or (shall we say) ?supervised? by him. As inthe Mass in Time of War conductors have the choice of two orchestrations: with or without doubling horns and with or without the supplementary clarinet parts.The Heiligmesse has always been one of Haydn?s most admired works. Its dignity its strength (we draw special attention to the extraordinary ?Gratias? with its brilliant contrapuntal writing) the subdued orchestral grandeur to which the B-flat trumpets contribute a silvery but unmartial weight all these have made it one of Haydn?s most serious and most deeply sensitive church works: its constant popularity in Viennese churches is quite deserved.Urtext from Joseph Haydn WerkeFull score (together with Missa Cellensis [Mariazellermesse] Hob.XXII:8; Missa brevis Sti Joannis de Deo [Little Organ Mass] Hob.XXII:7; Missa in Tempore Belli [Mass in Time of War] Hob.XXII:9) available for saleParts (BA4651) and vocal score (BA4651-90) available for sale

Harmonie-Messe.. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Missa B-flat Major Hob. XXII:14 'Harmony Mass' Urtext from: Joseph Haydn Werke It is well known that Joseph Haydn wrote his late masses to the commission of his last employer, Prince Nicolaus II Esterhazy. The 'Harmoniemesse' is the last of these high masses all of which probably received their first performances in celebration of the name-day of Princess Maria Josepha Hermenegild, the prince's wife. The present work was given for the first time on 8 September 1802 in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt, Haydn himself conducting. Haydn entitled his work simply 'Missa'. The work has acquired the name 'Harmoniemesse' by reason ofthe prominent parts given to the wind instruments ('Harmonie' being a contemporary name for a wind band); the nickname did not become established until the late nineteenth century. Full score and parts (BA4659), vocal score (BA4659-90) and study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP97) available for sale./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
