Format : Vocal Score
Haydn composed 'Mass in Time of War' recognizing Europe's collective concern over the ambitious youthful and at the time successful Napoleon. As he was was working on it the Austrians were fighting to keep the French from their homeland. Some writers have suggested that the baleful timpani part in the Agnus Dei reflects Haydn's reaction to the escalating military conflict; these timpani passages inspired the work's nickname 'Paukenmesse' (Timpani Mass). The work is for a Quartet of Solo Voices SATB chorus and Orchestra. This version is edited by Michael R. Miller and includes a piano accompaniment.

Since the days of Renaissance composers - beyond accusations of plagiarism - the admiration for a fellow composer has taken the form of quotations from his works or even new versions of his works. No less a work from the classical period than Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Creation (first performed in 1798), was the basis for the Schopfungsmesse (Creation Mass) by the Salzburg Court and Cathedral Music Director, Luigi Gatti. Gatti heard the oratorio in Salzburg performances conducted by Johann Michael Haydn in 1800. With great skill and sensitivity Gatti was able to underlay the choruses and arias of The Creation with the text of the Mass (at times he reduced and adapted the instrumentation), without doing harm to the admired original. Score available separately - see item CA.2705300.
