Sacred vocal music, Masses, Latin. Choral Score. Hob. XXII:4. 24 pages. Duration 40 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.603/05. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4060305). ISBN 9790007106034. Key: E flat major. Language: Latin.Haydn's so-called Great Organ Solo Mass in E flat major is among those works by Joseph Haydn which early in its history enjoyed widespread dissemination. The E flat major Mass, with an unusual scoring including two English horns in the orchestra, was composed around 1770 during the first years of Haydn's tenure as Music Director for the Court of Esterhazy. Despite the readily playable, effective part for organ, employed prominently as a solo instrument in the piece, the Missa in honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae, which was composed for a Feast to the Blessed Virgin Mary, is seldom performed today. The new critical edition hopes to stimulate new interest in this work. Score available separately - see item CA.4060300.
