By Franz Joseph Haydn.
Arranged by Robert D.
Mccashin. String
Orchestra. FJH String
Orchestra. Late in life,
Franz Joseph Haydn wrote
twelve symphonies known
as the "London" or
"Salomon" Symphonies.
They were composed for
and during his two visits
to London between 1791
and 1795. It was during
his first visit that he
was awarded the honorary
degree of Doctor of Music
from Oxford University
(1791). Haydn had been
invited to come to London
by Johann Peter Salomon,
London violinist and
concert impresario. The
invitation included the
writing and conducting of
some twenty new works as
part of a dedicated
concert series. Symphony
No. 104 in D Major is the
last of the 12 London
Symphonies from which
this arrangement is
drawn. Despite the
dramatic slow
introduction of the first
movement, the entire
symphony reflects the
great satisfaction and
joyful energy of Haydn's
existence during these
visits to England. Score
for this title: ST6097S.
