Haydn’s eighth setting of the ordinary of the mass was composed in 1782 for performance in Mariazell, Austria. Ryan Kelly has selected the brief opening portion of the Gloria for this anthem, featuring Haydn’s exuberant, straightforward homophonic choral writing true to the Classical era. The accompaniment is an approachable orchestra reduction for piano with optional trumpets and timpani. Accessible for most SATB ensembles, this anthem offers choirs the exciting opportunity to sing an excerpt from a large-scale choral work.
