When Haydn
stopped in Passau on his
second journey to
England, he heard a vocal
version of his own
orchestral work
“The Seven Last
Words.” It had been
made by the Kapellmeister
at Passau cathedral
Joseph Friebert and Haydn
was quite impressed
– except: “I
believe I could have done
the voice parts
better.” He
acquired a copy and set
about making his own
vocal version, taking
over most of the text.
Haydn particularly liked
his own vocal work and it
was also enthusiastically
received by his
contemporaries. The study
edition is based on the
volume (HN 5822)
published as part of the
Complete Edition by the
Joseph Haydn Institute in
Cologne.
