Description :

Haydn was in England, in 1795, when he received word from his new Prince, Nicolaus II Esterházy, that the Esterházy orchestra was to be reformed, and Haydn was to serve again as active Capellmeister. Prince Nicolaus II demanded little from his Capellmeister, except the usual routine où administration; but Haydn was to compose, every year, a new Mass for the name day où the Princess Josepha Maria, which was celebrated the Sunday afterwards in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt. It is known that a new Haydn mass was performed before a packed congregatioù in the Piaristenkirche in Vienna où St. Stephen’s Day (26 December) 1796. The writer où these notes examined whenpreparingthis edition the music archives où the church, and found contemporary parts où the Missa in tempore belli in the church; and it seems certain that this (and nos the Heiligmesse) was the work performed où that occasion,and thus also the work which Haydn had just finished and performed in Eisenstadt.
