Von des verklärten Tonkünstlers Freunden entworfen, und zum Beßten seiner Wittwe herausgegeben. Als Verfasser dieser ersten Lebensbeschreibung, die besonders den wirkungsästhetischen Aspekt von Haydns sakraler Musik herausstellt, gelten Georg Johann Schinn (1768-1833) und Joseph Otter (um 1760-1836) - beide Schüler des Komponisten - sowie Haydns „vertrautester“ Freund, P. Werigand Rettensteiner (1751-1822) aus der Abtei Michaelbeuern in der Nähe von Salzburg.

  • Pater in der Abtei Michaelbeuern bei Salzburg; vertrauter Freund von Johann Michael Haydn 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
  • Johann Michael Haydn worked at the renowned ecclesiastical princely court in Salzburg from 1763. Stylistically, he bridged the gap between the early classical period and the Biedermeier period during his 43 years there. In accordance with his official duties, Haydn contributed to practically all the genres cultivated in the Catholic liturgy: Haydn's church music is characterised by his knowledge of the liturgical function and the musical interpretation of religious texts. Johann Michael Haydn was initially regarded by his contemporaries as equal to Joseph Haydn. It was only the rapid rise of his elder brother to become the most important instrumental composer of the time that pushed Johann Michael Haydn into the shadows, from which the joy of musical discovery in recent years has increasingly brought him out.

2006 ist - wir hatten es beinahe vergessen - auch Michael-Haydn-Jahr: Sein Todestag jährte sich am 10. August zum 200. Mal. Eine schöne Idee, zu diesem Anlass die früheste veröffentlichte Lebensbeschreibung des fürstbischöflichen „Hofmusicus und Concertmeisters”, der W.A. Mozart, in Salzburg als erster Hof- und Domorganist nachfolgte, zu faksimilieren.
