Heilig-Messe-Bernard of Offida 1604 1694 was a Capuchin monk whose saintly life and devotion to the sick and poor caused him to be beatified by Pope Pius VI on 19 May 1795. St. Bernard?s name day falls on the 11th of September (a Saturday in 1797) and it is generally thought that Haydn combined doing honour to the Capuchin monk with the production of a new Mass for his patron 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 or (shall we say) ?supervised? by him. As inthe Mass in Time of War conductors have the choice of two orchestrations: with or without doubling horns and with or without the supplementary clarinet parts.The Heiligmesse has always been one of 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 unmartial weight all these have made it one of Haydn?s most serious and most deeply sensitive church works: its constant popularity in Viennese churches is quite deserved.Urtext from Joseph Haydn WerkeFull score (together with Missa Cellensis [Mariazellermesse] Hob.XXII:8; Missa brevis Sti Joannis de Deo [Little Organ Mass] Hob.XXII:7; Missa in Tempore Belli [Mass in Time of War] Hob.XXII:9) available for saleParts (BA4651) and vocal score (BA4651-90) available for sale

Want to pep up a worship service or rouse the audience with a super encore? This is the piece to do it. There's some fun levity in this good ol' spiritual especially the part about the choir singer. You'll have to see the song to know what that's about. Best of all this arrangement has all of Stacey's stylin' but it's easy almost all 4-part SATB (only a little soprano divis at the end). For church and school high school ages and up easy to medium.

Uses: General Holy Week Lent Scripture: Isaiah 53:3 I John 3:16 A very dramatic realization of a classic hymn text is found in this stunning octavo. The descriptive words take front and center in this almost pristine treatment and the piano adds drama and support while being restrained and sensitive. There is a story-telling element in this writing with the song and arrangement exploiting that characteristic with tasteful and effective musical choices. Artful!

This wonderful text of Robert Louis Stevenson celebrates life in this sensational piece for high school and college. You can almost feel the mist of the highland meadows and will enjoy the calm of contentment as the song finishes.

This is a very simple gem of an anthem set to a text known to many. The melody is beautiful and the well-crafted modulations so appropriate. Try it almost any time of the year or during the summer when rehearsal time is limited.
