from St. Nicholas Mass-For those looking for a distinguished selection by maestro F.J. Haydn (1732-1809) this last movement in the St. Nicholas Mass is the perfect choice for choirs with accomplished soloists. It features prominently the solo quartet with the chorus giving the responses. A choice out of the ordinary for a good high school choir and beyond honoring the composer's anniversary year. With piano or organ accompanimnet. Duration: ca. 3:15.

Taken from Haydn's masterwork Heiligmesse, this shortened edition has also been transposed to make it more accessible. The setting of the compact Latin text explores many of the conventions of the Classical period, including energized homophonic choral lines, structured musical form, and stark dynamic contrasts.

Haydn wrote the Missa Sancti Nicolai in 1772, probably for the name day of prince Nicolaus Esterhazy. This work is on a larger scale than the other missae breves, and in the orchestra two oboes and two horns join the strings. At the very beginning of the Kyrie the gentle, pastoral character which distinguishes this work is established. Haydn reprises the music of the Kyrie in the Dona nobis pacem to round off the work. The full score contains at the same time the organ part. This work is now available in carus music, the choir app! Score available separately - see item CA.4060500.
