Mass in D minor Haydn

Haydn scholar, H.C. Robins Landon, describes Haydn’s Nelson Mass or Mass in Anguished Times as arguably the composer’s greatest composition. It reflects the composer’s reaction to the troubled events of the time: the French Revolution and the early Napoleonic Wars. A modern audience, moved by the anxieties of our own time, will find resonances in Haydn’s impassioned work. As Vice-Kapellmeister with the noble Hungarian Esterhazy family, Haydn was required to compose both secular and church music, and, late in his career, a great deal more church music. The D minor mass was written in the summer of 1798, at the height of Haydn’s maturity, about five years before ill health would force him to stop composing. At the time, the composer had been in the service of the Esterhazy family for some 37 years. The current Esterhazy prince was the third under whom Haydn served. Less musically inclined than his predecessors and currently penurious, he had dismissed all the orchestral woodwind players from his employ. Haydn considered his newly reduced orchestra, and with genius, turned the lack into highly effective orchestral scoring. Strings, trumpets, timpani, and organ is an instrumentation that readily yields a proud, heroic, military feel, and, in the movments with strings alone, a lyrical, sweet, persuasiveness. While Haydn was at work on the Mass, Admiral Nelson’s fleet took the French by surprise and decimated them at the Battle of Aboukir. But Haydn could not have known of Nelson’s victory until weeks after the Mass was finished. The title, (Lord) Nelson, was applied to the Mass by others, perhaps because the work was performed for Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton when they visited Prince Esterhazy at Eisenstadt Castle in September of 1800. Robbins Landon thinks the D minor mass was probably played on Sunday September 7th or Monday September 8th, 1800: “It is no doubt, from this occasion that the work [previously known as “Missa in augustiis”] became known under the title Nelson Mass.” Robbins Landon recounts the visit of Lord Nelson and his paramour, Lady Hamilton: “Nelson was greeted with a frenzy amounting almost to hysteria on his trip through Austria, Bohemia and Germany

in the autumn of 1800. He cites Haydn’s friend, Griesinger, who writes, “Haydn found a great admirer in Milady Hamilton. When she paid a visit to the Esterhazy estates in Hungary she paid little attention to their highnesses and never left Haydn’s side for two whole days…N[elson]and his party, which included Sir William and Lady Hamilton who leads him [Nelson] about like a keeper with a bear...arrived at Eisenstadt on 6 Sept [1800] and stayed four days.” Opinions about Lady Hanilton vary. Robbins Landon continues: “Lord Fitzharris writes: ‘Lady Hamilton is without exception the most course, ill-mannered, disagreeable woman we met with.’ But Moerner says: ‘She is now 46 and the fattest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, but with the most beautiful head. A voice such as hers excelled all my expectations and I don’t think I shall ever again hear anything so heavenly…’ From Griesinger we learn that, “Nelson asked for the worn-out pen with which Haydn had written his compositions and in return gave [Haydn] a watch...From all the evidence, there can be little doubt that Haydn, too, was captivated by the ‘Nelson touch’.” [From Robbins Landon Vol 4] When Viva la Musica performed in Vienna in 2006, we visited Eisenstadt, the Esterhazy Palace, and the Haydn house, now a museum, where we came upon a plaster cast of Lord Nelson’s death mask. With his sensuous lips and rugged, Mick Jagger kind of appeal, what a handsome, irresistible, heroic fellow Nelson must have been! The music named after him has similar sensuous, compelling, rugged, and heroic appeal.

Requiem Arnesen

Kim André Arnesen is a contemporary Norwegian composer. He began studying the piano at age 6 at the music school in Trondheim, and singing in the Nidaros Cathedral Boys Choir at age 10. He later attended the Trondheim Music Conservatory. His first composition was performed in 1999. Since then, his music has been performed by choirs around the world. His first large scale work was a Magnificat, commissioned and premiered by the Nidaros Cathedral Girls Choir in 2010. His Requiem was premiered by the Nidaros Cathedral Boys Choir in 2014, and the work had its U.S. premier in April 2015 in West Virginia. It will be premiered in New York, in January 2017, at Carnegie Hall. In the Requiem, Arnesen’s writing is boldly fresh yet accessible. Neo-Romantic in flavor, the music is by turns tender and dramatic. Arnesen masterfully weaves together texts from different sources in a way that speaks directly to the listener, regardless of religious tradition.

Texts from the Roman Catholic “Mass for the Dead,” Emily Dickinson poetry, and a Hebrew prayer.

And let perpetual light shine on them.Te decet hymnus in Sion Sung praise honors you in Zionet tibi reddetur votum And a votive offering will be given you in Jerusalem. in Jerusalem.Exaudi orationem meam.

Not in Vain(Emily Dickinson, 1830-1886)

I shall not live in vain.

Lest I be consumed in the eternal fire.Inter oves locum praesta, Make a place for me among the sheep, Et ab haedis me sequestra, And keep me apart from the goats,Statuens in parte dextra. Standing at your right hand.Confutatis maledictis, When the damned are utterly confounded, Flammis acribus addictis, Enslaved to the bitter flames,Voca me cum benedictis.

When we are weary and lostAnd in need of strength,

We remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live.We remember them. Amen.
