[@MusiExplora]

to my way of thinking Michael Haydn is really underrated today - we ought to perform his genius music more in concerts

[@just4sax]

I totally agree❤👏👍

[@mrknesiah]

Undeniably the DNA for Mozart's Requiem. It's amazing how much of this was used by Mozart. Michael Haydn is a highly underappreciated composer. Even the final fugue is magnificient 32:40 Mozart didn't get a chance to finish his Amen fugue which was meant to go here .. 12:29 I'm sure those who have heard the Mozart requiem a few times will recognize this 16:05

[@MusiExplora]

that's really true

[@SovietSongsInEnglish]

Absolutely.

[@mrknesiah]

@Kacper Skonieczny The quom olim abrahae fugue for sure is strongly evoked by mozart in setting style and rhythm.

[@MusiExplora]

@Kacper Skonieczny that's true👍

Merci pour partage ! Je ne connaissais que le tenebrae facte sunt de Michael Hadn . Michael Haydn compose ce requiem pour la mort du comte archevêque Sigismund von Schrattenbach à Salzbourg le 16 décembre 1771. Haydn termine le Requiem avant la fin de l'année, le signant « S[oli] D[eo] H[onus] et G[loria.] Salisburgi 31 Dicembre 1771 ». Sa fille Aloisia Josefa1 était morte début 1771. Les historiens pensent que son propre deuil a motivé cette composition2. De ce requiem existent encore une partition signée découverte à Berlin, un jeu de pages copiées avec de nombreuses corrections de la main de Haydn découvert à Salzbourg, un autre jeu découvert au château Esterházy à Eisenstadt et une partition, préparée par le copiste de Salzbourg Nikolaus Lang, trouvée à Munich3. Leopold et son fils Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sont présents aux trois premières représentations du requiem de Haydn en janvier 17724,5, et Wolfgang est influencé par ce requiem lors de la composition de son propre Requiem en ré mineur, K. 6266. Le requiem de Michael Haydn est « un modèle important pour Mozart » et suggère fortement que l'achèvement du requiem de Mozart par Franz Xaver Süssmayr ne s'écarte « en aucune manière des plans de Mozart. »

[@chipensemble]

Mozart followed Haydn's footsteps for the structuring of the mass of the dead. Had Mozart lived to complete it, would have been the culmination of the classical mass tradition.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Requiems are something of a musical cul-de-sac rather than a culmination of anything; whatever, the Requiems of both Michael Haydn and Mozart are both astonishing works. The culmination of the Classical Mass tradition is really the late final six masses of Joseph Haydn, a position confirmed by Beethoven no less who after one attempt to emulate a Haydn-style mass (his Mass in C), did what he did best, which was to learn from his two greatest predecessors, and then do his *own* thing, and write something completely different.

[@thomasjohn5037]

The melody at 2:15 for "Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion" is exactly same as the E-flat major theme in Mozart's Maurerische Trauermusik in C minor K.477

The subject of the 'Quam olim' fugue sounds a lot like Mozart's.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Elias That might be a little difficult as it was written 20 years before Mozart’s.

[@OsGamersdoBrasil]

It's quite known that Mozart took that as direct inspiration.

[@hellfirepictures]

Ya mean Mozart's sounds like M Haydn's. Cos Mozart nicked it!

[@ottavva]

the beginning was apparently inspired by Perolesi's STABAT MATER

[@F-Man]

It would certainly appear that way. Pergolesi unwittingly established a paradigm shift with that one.

[@AbnerIMAlvarado]

I thought exactly the same. I'm listening now the Introit and it is reminding me a lot of Mozart's Requiem (I know this was composed first). The necadant descending idea in the Domine Jesu is the same as in Mozart. The opening Quam Olim Abrahae theme has the same rhythm.

[@SPscorevideos]

And Pergolesi's Stabat Mater takes a lot of music from his teacher Francesco Durante. ;) It's more interesting how much this Michael Haydn's work influenced Mozart.

[@yyjj841]

That was my first thought

[@mrknesiah]

@@SPscorevideos Mozart probably worked off this score to save time because there are too many detail similarities in wording and intonation.

[@vonstolzing1]

Es colosal! Qué lástima que la tragedia personal afectó tanto a Michael. No olvidemos que Mozart usó una de sus sinfonías, a la que agregó un preludio, para satisfacer un encargo. Es la 37 KV 444. Hoy se la retiró del catálogo Köchel al comprobarse que la sinfonía era de Michael, y queda el primer movimiento, que sí compuso Mozart, como KV 444a.

Setting aside the comparisons to Mozart: it's still a marvelous work. It has been criticized as "academic sounding" to which I strongly disagree. Young Haydn has a sense of formality and structure, which is actually a good thing. This particular Dies irae remains as one of my favorite settings of the text.

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

these fast counterpoint sections and some interruptions to bring a totally different texture inbetween makes clear for me the composer wants to give more and more for the piece, idk if this is clear for everyone but maybe many people can just feel it. I don´t know the behind the scenes but it is definetely a work beyond what it was paid for. Unfortunely the historicists of the romanticism saw the sturm and drang and the presto style as just a "transition to", i don´t see only in this way, i think it is something INTERRUPTED by the mature classic style and other ideals

Ezequiel Stepanenko You haven’t been listening to the wrong Haydn - both are worthy of a lifetime’s study, though only the older brother is a truly ‘A’ list composer. That said, Michael Haydn’s music is never less than than attractive and is always professionally composed; he has a very individual voice that appealed to Mozart, and in terms of religious music, was admired by his brother, Salzburg colleague (though not the father), and almost everyone else in Catholic Austria and South Germany.

Wow, Mozart had to have known this piece, as it was written in 1771 for his(Mozart's) employer! He was definitely influenced by this piece when he wrote his Requiem(which i think is better, but no denying this is a great piece that Mozart borrowed stylistically from)

[@hellfirepictures]

Mozart and M Haydn worked together at times, swapped their scores with each other, and Mozart said M Haydn was "the greatest composer ever". He was more than 'influenced' by - he absolutely stole many of M Haydn's musical ideas. Whether M Haydn was ok with this or not I don't know.

basically the longer the movement is the more space is needed, but also other factors, depends on the score also. But the point is that many many cds just ignore this and put the pieces in rush after other, then it sounds like another part of the previous movment.

[@faustoorieta]

a lot of people saying mozart's kyrie from his famous requiem is based of this quam olim abrahae but it's actually much more likely that it was based from the kyrie of this requiem by zelenka kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGiypXuKhcl9nrs

[@sdzhchannel]

The Kyrie eleison from Mozart's Requiem is usually said to have been loosely based on works by Händel (e.g. And with his stripes from the Messiah oratorio). I am unaware how well Zelenka was known outside of Saxony in the late 18th century.

[@sdzhchannel]

Furthermore, there is no resemblance between Zelenka' s Kyrie and Mozart' s Kyrie apart from the key and the fact both are fugues; Zelenka' s theme lacks the distinctive diminished seventh jump or any of the jumps in the theme by Mozart; there is no upwards moving melismatic countersubject... On the other hand, there is a bafflingly identical element in the Dies irae of both works and this is the whole tone modulating arpeggio - F > F7 > G > G7 > A minor. You can hear it in the choir and in the oboes while in Mozart, it is set on Quantus tremor et futurus. I have no information whether the two works have some sort of connection.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@sdzhchannel Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Haydn all used the ‘And With His Stripes’ motif; like so many such ideas* used multiple times by different composers, its origins are not really known. * The well-known do-re-fa-mi motif (or slight variant) was to my knowledge used five times by Mozart and four times by Haydn.
