Die Schöpfung. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. The oratorio 'The Creation' represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn's compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio. At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for a new kind of choral oratorio which became one of the standard features of developing bourgeois concert life. This choral score supplements the existing performance material (BA 4648). It is based on the G. Henle Complete edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn'./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte SATB

“Missa brevis in F in score. This was the first Mass which Mr. Haydn composed whilst still a student” says an entry in the catalogue of Haydn’s musical estate. Circa 1798/99 Haydn entered the work without an incipit in his working catalogue as “Missa brevis in F. / a due Soprani”. Around 1805/06 he added in shaky decrepit handwriting to the title “Missa.” on the front page of the organ part of one of the set of parts prepared by his copyist Johann Elßler: “Brevis / di me Giuseppe Haydn mpria / 1749”. This date the earliest yet found on a work by Haydn corresponds to the title of the Haydn catalogue whichindicates the eighteenth year of Haydn’s life i. e. 1749/50 as the starting point of his work: “Catalogue of all those compositions which I happen to remember writing from my 18th to my 73rd year of life.” In 1805 Haydn set about adding further instruments to the original scoring for two violins and figured organ bass and by 15th February 1806 the larger instrumentation was ready as is evidenced by a letter written on this very day by the Haydn biographer Georg August Griesinger. It is however by no means certain whether the seventy-three-year-old undertook this adaptation himself. - Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke - Full score parts (BA4644) and vocal score (BA4644-90) available for sale - Early string version and later version with wind instruments and timpani

Classic Choral Works-Haydn's Missa in Angustiis Hob.XXII/11 his so-called Nelson Mass was composed in 1798 under difficult circumstances as one of his few remaining duties of employment with the Esterhazy family.Available here is a scholarly performing edition of one of Haydn's most popular works with a faithful orchestral reduction that is both clear and playable as edited by Denis McCaldin.

Mass in Time of War-Haydn was in England in 1795 when he received word from his new Prince Nicolaus II Esterházy that the Esterházy orchestra was to be reformed and Haydn was to serve again as active Capellmeister.Prince Nicolaus II demanded little from his Capellmeister except the usual routine of administration; but Haydn was to compose every year a new Mass for the name day of the Princess Josepha Maria which was celebrated the Sunday afterwards in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt. It is known that a new Haydn mass was performed before a packed congregation in the Piaristenkirche in Vienna on St. Stephen?s Day (26 December) 1796. The writer of these notes examined when preparingthis edition the music archives of the church and found contemporary parts on the Missa in tempore belli in the church; and it seems certain that this (and not the Heiligmesse) was the work performed on that occasion and thus also the work which Haydn had just finished and performed in Eisenstadt.Urtext from Joseph Haydn WerkeFull score parts (BA4652) vocal score (BA4652-90) and study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP94) 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

Joseph Haydn's The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross composed for mixed choir (SATB) with Piano accompaniment. The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour On the Cross is an orchestral work by Joseph Haydn commissioned for the Good Friday service at Cádiz Cathedral in Spain.

The Seven Words Of Our Saviour On The Cross-Haydn's setting of the Passion of Christ in full vocal score. The work was originally written in 1786 as a program of instrumental music to accompany the Seven Words Of Jesus On The Cross for a service at Cadiz. Haydn then embellished the work into a full Oratorio for Lent services at the Cathedral of Cadiz. This final version is presented here for SATB chorus and a Piano reduction of the orchestral material.

Full score and performance material available for sale.Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke G. Henle Verlag Munich.The Creation Mass was composed and first performed during the last decade of Haydn's life in September 1801 at the Bergkirche at the Esterhazy estate in Eisenstadt on the occasion of the nameday of Princess Maria Hermenegild. The nickname 'Creation' stems from Haydn's incorporating into the Gloria movement (at the words 'Qui tollis peccata mundi') a quotation from Adam and Eve's duet in his oratorio The Creation.
