The Requiem
in B flat major is Johann
Michael Haydn's second
setting of the liturgical
text of the Mass of the
dead (another Requiem, MH
599, has since been
identified as the work of
Father Georg Pasterwiz)
and it is also his last
work, his Opus ultimum.
On commission from
Empress Maria Theresia he
began the composition in
1805, but due to a
serious illness he made
only slow progress with
the work. Like W. A.
Mozart, he could not
complete this Requiem. In
1839 Father Gunther
Kronecker, Benedictine
Father in the monastery
of Kremsmunster in Upper
Austria, completed the
torso in the spirit and
style of Haydn. During
his student days in
Vienna Father Gunther
belonged to the circle of
friends who were
associated with Franz
Schubert.
