Franz Joseph Haydn: Masses No. 9 - 10: Reference

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

in Full Score-Two of Haydn's finest works nominally associated with war but richly devotional in spirit and exemplary in their synthesis of vocal and instrumental music. Both masses were written in the late 1790s when Europe was at war and first performed at Eisenstadt the Austrian country estate of composer's lifelong patrons.Reprinted from authoritative German editions.

Nelsonmesse. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. The so-called “Nelson Mass” is the third of the six great High Masses that Haydn wrote between 1796 and 1802 for the name-days of Princess Maria Josepha Hermenegild Esterházy. According to the dates given in the autograph he composed the work in the period between 10 July and 31 August 1798. It was thus written in the year of the first performance of the Creation.

Theresienmesse. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Between 1796 and 1802 Haydn composed 6 great Masses to celebrate the name day of Princess Maria Hermenegild, the wife of his patron Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy II. The Theresa Mass was the fourth of these composed in 1799 and although the title page of the score simply has the word 'Missa' the nickname Theresienmesse remains a matter for speculation, but is usually attributed to the work's supposed association with Marie Therese, the wife of the Emperor Franz II. - Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke - Full score (with Nelson Mass) (BA4660) available for sale - Parts (BA4661), vocal score (BA4661-90) and study scoreformat 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP99) available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
