Frauenchor-For performance material on sale use regular 4-part edition BA4653.Arrangement for SMezAA based on the Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn.Idiomatic Piano reduction.Haydn presumably wrote his Missa brevis in 1775 for the Brothers Hospitallers of Eisenstadt Abbey. The work takes its nickname the ‘Little Organ Mass’ from the Organ solo in the Benedictus. This arrangement for female choir (SMezAA) is based on the complete edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn.The original soprano and alto parts have for the most part been taken over as has the soprano solo in the Benedictus. The tenor and bass parts are distributed among themezzo-sopranos and altos with a few well thought-out alterations to preserve the harmonic structure. Heribert Breuer has retained the original substance with great skill while giving the work a wholly new and attractive sound.Heribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is the founder and conductor of the Berlin Bach Academy.

Haydn wrote the Missa Sancti Nicolai in 1772, probably for the name day of prince Nicolaus Esterhazy. This work is on a larger scale than the other missae breves, and in the orchestra two oboes and two horns join the strings. At the very beginning of the Kyrie the gentle, pastoral character which distinguishes this work is established. Haydn reprises the music of the Kyrie in the Dona nobis pacem to round off the work. The full score contains at the same time the organ part. This work is now available in carus music, the choir app! Score available separately - see item CA.4060500.
