Michael Haydn - Missa tempore Quadrigesimae

[@lightspeed174]

I just know Michael Haydn composed a lot of wonderful music. This Missa is new to me and I love it. I must say. this is outstanding sing. What a performance. Thank you so much for another marvelous upload.

Wat prachtig! Zondag jl gezongen door de schola cantorum van de Sint Jan in Den Bosch.

That Credo is awesome. I love Credos in mass settings the most out of the other parts of the Ordinarium. It's a long text, and you can evoke different feelings during different parts of it. Rapid key and tempo changes are some of my favorites.

Then you should go and check for Zelenka's Missa Omnium Sanctorum, the Credo is full of contrasts and powerful dynamics :)

Listening to this for the first time. What a treat.

PRECIOSA MUSICA....

[@ezequielstepanenko3229]

I don't know too much about this composer, but just as in his requiem I got the feeling that he is going back and forth in musical eras, from classicism to baroque to renaissance to classicism again, it's very interesting

[@MusiExplora]

you are right - Michael Haydn was a real master of all styles; he also composed very polyphonic masses which sound between Bach and Mozart; that's the reason why Mozart appriciated his music very much

[@benjosephr.cuyacot5963]

Michael Haydn in his early years work as an organist in Jesuit Church in Vienna. Jesuits at that time were more akin to established musical forms of the previous centuries and somewhat conservative. Michael was then exposed to a more traditional catholic musical architecture which was later became useful when the Archbishop Colloredo (a stuborn archtypical Viennese) took the scene in Salzburg after the death of Arbishop Schrattenbach. Colloredo prefers minimalism than the more elaborate styles popular at that time, and this is partly might be the reason why Mozart had troubles with the new Archbishop. Michael on the otherhand was succesful and he lived and work there throughout his life.

Franz Joseph Hydns brother and contemporary. His works have a haunting quality about them.

Bela missa, gostei da concisão da parte do órgão.

This is delicious music. Simple, admittedly, but thoroughly musical. Sympathetic to the range of the singer. Sacred in feeling. And fun for all choirs. Mozart had great regard for Michael Haydn. You can see why. There is a gentle serenity about Michael's music, quite different to Joseph, his brother's music - much closer to Mozart's style.

[@pedrolopez-torrestubbs7569]

simple in music as Chekhov was "simple" in his story telling...loved it....

Wow, tonus peregrinus at 5:40! What's extra interesting about this one to me is that, exactly like its appearance in Mozart's requiem, it starts in B-flat and ends in G minor even though it's set in an overall D minor movement. Wonder if Mozart was remembering this particular spot?

[@SPscorevideos]

Also Bach's Meine seele erhebt den herren (BWV10) has that melody in the same key. Mozart could have been familiar with that too.

[@Cherodar]

@@SPscorevideos Perhaps, though I don't think Mozart (or anyone from that time and place) knew of many of Bach's cantatas, even after being introduced to Bach by van Swieten--as I understood it, it was mostly the keyboard music that he was introduced to and became an admirer of then. That's not to say it's impossible though!

[@briandavid8077]

Which choir is this? They do a superb job!

[@MusiExplora]

Michael Haydn also quotes a gregorian chant

[@elias69420]

Correction for the timestamps in description: The 'Corale. Adagio' section is marked by the incipit 'Crucifixus', even though it begins with 'Et incarnatus est'.

[@SPscorevideos]

You're right, I'm going to fix it (also because the automated sectioning in the video is not working, and I have to find out why).

Kyrie far too fast.
