The names of Michael Haydn’s masses are associated either with a specific commission or with the composition’s dedicatee. Thus, Haydn composed the “Missa in honorem Sti. Gotthardi,” also known as the “Admont Mass,” for the Admont Abbey located in the region of Styria, Austria, where Gotthard Kuglmayr was the Abbot. The mass combines formal concentration with liturgical function. The songlike melody, the unity of the motivic material, and the balanced harmony of solemn and lyrical passages show how intensively Haydn concerned himself with the genre. Due to its length and its orchestration the mass can be considered a type of missa solemnis. Fugues and fugal movements are completely missing from the Missa Admontis as is any kind of contrapuntal (including imitative) composition. In so doing, Haydn assured that the required understanding of the liturgical text would be achieved.

  • Johann Michael Haydn wirkte ab 1763 am renommierten geistlichen Fürstenhof in Salzburg. Stilistisch schlug er in seinem 43-jährigen dortigen Wirken die Brücke von der Frühklassik zum musikalischen Biedermeier. Entsprechend seinen dienstlichen Verpflichtungen hat Haydn praktisch zu allen in der katholischen Liturgie gepflegten Gattungen beigetragen: Das Wissen um die liturgische Funktion und die musikalische Ausdeutung der religiösen Texte zeichnet Haydns Kirchenmusik aus. Johann Michael Haydn wurde von den Zeitgenossen zunächst als gleichberechtigt neben Joseph Haydn gesehen. Erst der steile Aufstieg des älteren Bruders zum bedeutendsten Instrumentalkomponisten der Zeit rückte Johann Michael Haydn in den Schatten, aus dem ihn die musikalische Entdeckerfreude der letzten Jahre zunehmend herausholt. Personal details
  • Armin Kircher studied church music at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Until his death he was Director of the Church Music Department of the Archdiocese of Salzburg, and since 1992 he had been administrative director of the Österreichische Werkwoche für Kirchenmusik (Austrian Week for Church Music). He was also Director of Music at St Peter's Abbey, Salzburg and organist at the Cajetan Church in Salzburg. The collections he edited for the Catholic liturgy have become established standard works, in particular the choral collections Chorbuch Mozart • Haydn, the Chorbuch Kirchenjahr (Choirbook for the Church Year) and publications for organ and choir for the new Catholic hymnbook Gotteslob. Armin Kircher also made a name as an arranger of beautiful settings for choir and organ. Personal details

Reviews

[...] Trotz ihrer Länge gehört die Missa (insgesamt 972 Takte) mit einer Aufführungsdauer von 35 Minuten zu den besten Messvertonung Haydns. Auffallend ist auch die Ausdehnung des „Dona nobis pacem” mit 293 Takten (und einem Kürzungsvorschlag des Herausgebers) sowie das pathetisch langsame Tempo im Kyrie (Largo/Adagio). Die prachtvolle Messe verdient es, in ihrer instrumentalen Farbigkeit und souveränen Chorbehandlung für Konzert und Liturgie wiederentdeckt zu werden.
