Haydn Werke Henle Verlag Score containing alsoMissa brevis Sti Joannis de Deo (Little Organ Mass) (Hob.XXII:7)Missa in Tempore Belli (Pauken Mass) (Hob.XXII:9)Missa Sti Bernardi von Offida (Heilig Mass) (Hob.XXII:10)Appendix: Inter alia the version of the Gloria from (Hob.XXII:7) from Michael HaydnIn March 1781 one of Haydn’s friends Anton Liebe a member of an old and distinguished Austrian military family was raised to the nobility. He seems to have asked his friend Joseph Haydn to write a festive “thankoffering” in the form of a Mass for the famous pilgrimage church of Mariazell in Styria. Haydn began the work in 1782 and recently the original parts to the Missa Cellensis were found in the organ loft of the splendid baroque church at Mariazell.Haydn’s “Mariazellermesse” has always been one of his most popular works. The “Volkstümlichkeit” (which one might translate as “down to-earthiness”) the miraculous fusion of polyphonic forms with the language and form of the Vienna classical school – note that the Kyrie is in sonata form with shortened recapitulation and coda – the brilliant orchestration to which the trumpets and drums contribute so much festive joyousness: all these have won the hearts of audiences everywhere whenever the Mass was given.- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts and vocal score available for sale

“Missa brevis in F in score. This was the first Mass which Mr. Haydn composed whilst still a student” says an entry in the catalogue of Haydn’s musical estate. Circa 1798/99 Haydn entered the work without an incipit in his working catalogue as “Missa brevis in F. / a due Soprani”. Around 1805/06 he added in shaky decrepit handwriting to the title “Missa.” on the front page of the organ part of one of the set of parts prepared by his copyist Johann Elßler: “Brevis / di me Giuseppe Haydn mpria / 1749”. This date the earliest yet found on a work by Haydn corresponds to the title of the Haydn catalogue whichindicates the eighteenth year of Haydn’s life i. e. 1749/50 as the starting point of his work: “Catalogue of all those compositions which I happen to remember writing from my 18th to my 73rd year of life.” In 1805 Haydn set about adding further instruments to the original scoring for two violins and figured organ bass and by 15th February 1806 the larger instrumentation was ready as is evidenced by a letter written on this very day by the Haydn biographer Georg August Griesinger. It is however by no means certain whether the seventy-three-year-old undertook this adaptation himself. - Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke - Full score parts (BA4644) and vocal score (BA4644-90) available for sale - Early string version and later version with wind instruments and timpani

Missa Brevis est une messe pour Orchestre d?Harmonie et Choeur composée à la demande du Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir. : Philippe Pfisterer) de Guebwiller en France à l?occasion des célébrations dumillénaire de la naissance du Pape Léon IX à Éguisheim. La création mondiale a eu lieu le 23 juin 2002 sous la direction du compositeur et a été diffusée en direct sur la chaîne de télévision nationale France 2. Les différentes parties de cettemesse (Kyrie Gloria Credo Sanctus Benedictus et Agnus Dei) conviennent autant à la liturgie catholique qu?à la liturgie protestante. Missa Brevis peut être interprétée dans différentes combinaisons instrumentales. Ellepeut être jouée dans une version purement instrumentale où les cuivres prennent en charge la partie vocale. En tel cas il est conseillé de placer les cuivres à l?écart de la formation (sur une estrade par exemple) de façon à reproduire l?idée dedeux groupes indépendants. Dans le cadre d?une interprétation avec un grand Choeur les cuivres jouent un rôle de soutien. Leurs nuances doivent alors être adaptées dans la mesure où elles ont été écrites à l?origine pour une version instrumentale.Il est également possible de ne pas faire intervenir les cuivres et de privilégier le Choeur. Pour accompagner de petits ensembles vocaux il faut opter pour une formation instrumentale réduite voire même un Quatuor (instrumentation au choix). Pourl?interprétation de cette messe l?un des choix proposés ci-dessus s?impose. Il existe néanmoins une alternative qui consiste à interpréter cette oeuvre en combinant ces options (vocales / instrumentales). Cela peut être bénéfique tant d?un point devue artistique (variante) que pratique dans le cas où le Choeur n?a travaillé que deux mouvements de la messe. Si le chef dispose de deux formations complètes (Choeur et Orchestre d?Harmonie) il peut varier l?instrumentation selon ses préférences. Àce moment-là il peut confier un rôle d?accompagnement et non de soutien aux cuivres de sa formation. Les combinaisons suivantes peuvent être formées :1. Choeur de Clarinettes (de la Clarinette Mib à la Clarinette Basse)2. Choeur de Clarinettes + Saxophones3. Cuivres (Bugles Cors Barytons / Euphoniums Basses)4. Cuivres (2 Trompettes / 2 Trombones)5. Instruments à anches doubles (Flûte et Contrebasse à cordes optionnelles)6. Tutti7. Tous les Bois8. Tous les CuivresDans le cadre d?une interprétation par un Brass Band accompagné d?un Choeur il est préférable de supprimer l?option 1 (Choeur + Cuivres + Orchestre d?Harmonie) car le Choeur étant autonome. Dans une version instrumentale pour Cuivres il estpossible de former la combinaison suivante : Quatuor (2 Cornets / 2 Trombones) et Brass Band.Partitions pour ch?ur disponibles séparément.
