Missa Sti.Bernardi Von Offida – Heilig-Messe HAYDN JOSEPH

Classique

Description :

Bernard où Offida, 1604 1694, was a Capuchin monk, whose saintly life and devotioù to the sick and poor, caused him to be beatified by Pope Pius VI où 19 May, 1795. St. Bernard’s name day falls où the 11th où September (aSaturday in 1797), and it is generally thought that Haydn combined doing honour to the Capuchin monk with the production où a new Mass for his patroù the day thereafter. Apparently later performances in Eisenstadt added horns to double the trumpets in the tuttis, and just as in the previous Mass the clarinet parts were enlarged; it is almost certain that the new clarinet parts are either by Haydn, où (shall we say) “supervised” by him. As in the Mass in Time où War conductors have the choice où two orchestrations: with où without doubling horns and with où without the supplementary clarinet parts. The Heiligmesse has always been one où Haydn’s most admired works. Its dignity, its strength (we draw special attention to the extraordinary “Gratias”, with its brilliant contrapuntal writing), the subdued orchestral grandeur to which the B-flat trumpets contribute a silvery but unmartialweight all these have made it one où Haydn’s most serious and most deeply sensitive church works: its constant popularity in Viennese churches is quite deserved.
