Missa B-flat Major Hob.XXII:14 'Harmony Mass'
Urtext from: Joseph Haydn Werke
It is well known that Joseph Haydn wrote his late masses to the commission of his last employer, Prince Nicolaus IIEsterhazy. The 'Harmoniemesse' is the last of these high masses all of which probably received their first performances in celebration of the name-day of Princess Maria Josepha Hermenegild, the prince's wife. The present work wasgiven for the first time on 8 September 1802 in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt, Haydn himself conducting.
Haydn entitled his work simply 'Missa'. The work has acquired the name 'Harmoniemesse' by reason oftheprominent parts given to the wind instruments ('Harmonie' being a contemporary name for a wind band); the nickname did not become established until the late nineteenth century.
