Johann
Michael Haydn's Requiem
in C minor heavily
influenced W. A. Mozart's
Requiem. In just two
weeks Michael Haydn
composed his work in
December 1771, on the
occasion of the death of
his employer, Prince
Bishop Sigismund Count
Schrattenbach, who was
beloved among the people
and was a great patron of
the arts. The work was
written under the
impression of personal
tragedy: Haydn's only
child, Aloisia Josepha,
died in January 1771,
before completing her
first year of life. Parts
of the
Schrattenbach-Requiem
were played together with
the completed movements
from his second,
unfinished Requiem during
his own furneral service.
During the funeral
service in Vienna for
Joseph Haydn, parts of
his younger brother's
C-minor Requiem were also
performed. Score
available separately -
see item CA.5032100.
