Franz Joseph Haydn

Born: 1732. Died: 1809. Lived in: Austria

Franz Joseph Haydnwas an Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the string quartet and piano trio. His contributions to musical form have led him to be called "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet".

Haydn spent much of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Esterhazy family at their Eszterhaza Castle. Until the later part of his life, this isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, "forced to become original". Yet his music circulated widely, and for much of his career he was the most celebrated composer in Europe.

He was a friend and mentor of Mozart, a tutor of Beethoven, and the older brother of composer Michael Haydn.

Franz Joseph Haydn : 2 Duets for Soprano, Tenor and Piano : Duet : Songbook : 884088177102 : 51480538

Franz Joseph Haydn : 2 Duets for Soprano, Tenor and Piano

Carlo Francesco Badini (1715-1810) worked for a long time as a librettist at London's Italian opera house. In 1791, he wrote the text to Joseph Haydn's last opera L'anima del filosofo, ossia Orfeo ed Euricice. In 1796 Badini collaborated once again with Haydn, resulting in two enchanting chamber duets for soprano, tenor and piano: Saper vorrei se m'ami and Guarda qui che lo vedrai, whose bucolic setting was very popular at the time. In this Henle Urtext edition, the detailed preface by the editor Marianne Helms offers information on the complex source situation and the publication of these duets.

Franz Joseph Haydn : The Creation (Die Sch"opfung)

Next to Handel's Messiah, The Creation is perhaps the most frequently performed oratorio. This edition is the first to present the English text as Haydn intended, without the modifications of twentieth-century editions, and is the version used by Haydn in his many public renditions of the work using large forces. The keyboard reduction in this edition is by the Leipzig Cantor A. E. Müller, termed 'the best (and) most idiomatic' by Haydn himself. Full details of sources and editorial method, as well as a bibliography, can be found in the full score.

Franz Joseph Haydn : Te Deum for the Empress Marie Therese : SATB : Songbook : 9780193367760 : 9780193367760

Franz Joseph Haydn : Te Deum for the Empress Marie Therese

This setting of the Te Deum, dedicated to the wife of Franz I of Austria, is a rare example of a work from Haydn's late period that doesn't feature soloists. The second of Haydn's Te Deum settings, the work was performed in September 1800 on the name-day of the wife of Haydn's patron, Prince Nicolaus Esterhazy II, and it features the C major tonality and extensive use of trumpets and drums that were often associated with festive ceremony.

Franz Joseph Haydn : Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo ('Little Organ Mass') : SATB : Songbook : 9780193367845 : 9780193367845

Franz Joseph Haydn : Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo ('Little Organ Mass')

Haydn's Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo dates from c.1775 and was written for the Order of the Brothers of Mercy based in Eisenstadt. The mass is known for its distinctive 'Benedictus', which features elaborate soprano writing and an extensive obbligato organ part from which the work's alternative title, 'Little Organ Mass', derives. This edition includes the elongated 'Gloria' composed by Haydn's younger brother Michael, with Haydn's 31-bar original included as an Appendix.

Franz Joseph Haydn : Missa in Tempore Belli (Mass in Time of War/Paukenmesse) : SATB : Songbook : 9780193367920 : 9780193367920

Franz Joseph Haydn : Missa in Tempore Belli (Mass in Time of War/Paukenmesse)

Haydn's Missa in Tempore Belli was composed in 1796 for SATB chorus and soloists with orchestra. It is one of the finest of the six Hermenegild masses that, together with The Creation and The Seasons, represent the crowning glory of Haydn's final creative period. Although the work was originally written for relatively modest orchestral forces, the wind scoring was expanded when it was performed to great acclaim in Vienna in late 1796. This critical edition by Dr David Russell Hulme is the first to include both the original and Viennese scorings, and the vocal score contains a specially prepared piano reduction that provides a full and practical representation of the instrumental textures and clearly identifies the additional Viennese material.
