The Requiem in B flat major is Johann Michael Haydn’s second setting of the liturgical text of the Mass of the dead (another Requiem, MH 599, has since been identified as the work of Father Georg Pasterwiz) and it is also his last work, his “Opus ultimum.” On commission from Empress Maria Theresia he began the composition in 1805, but due to a serious illness he made only slow progress with the work. Like W. A. Mozart, he could not complete this Requiem. In 1839 Father Gunther Kronecker, Benedictine Father in the monastery of Kremsmünster in Upper Austria, completed the torso “in the spirit and style” of Haydn. Kronecker’s melodic writing ranges from a lyrical to a folk-song-like character. In harmonic development he shows himself to be a composer of the Viennese Biedermeier era, strongly influenced by Franz Schubert.

« Tout amateur de musique et de sa littérature sait [...] que Michael Haydn, en tant que compositeur d’église, compte parmi les premiers du genre [...] », écrit avec enthousiasme le poète et compositeur romantique E. T. A. Hoffmann dans la revue musicale Leipziger Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung (1812). Johann Michael Haydn naquit le 13 septembre 1737 à Rohrau (Basse-Autriche) et, comme son frère aîné de cinq ans Joseph, accomplit sa formation musicale à la maîtrise de la cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Vienne. Après un premier emploi auprès de l’évêque de Großwardein (aujourd’hui Oradea à la frontière roumano-hongroise), il s’établit en 1763 à Salzbourg où il resta au service de la cour des princes archévêques jusqu’à sa mort. A partir de 1780, sa création se concentra de la musique instrumentale sur le domaine vocal, surtout la musique

Translation (abridged): John Coombs“Everyone with knowledge of music and its literature knows [...] that Michael Haydn, as a composer for the church, is one of the finest artists in this field […],” wrote the romantic poet-composer E. T. A. Hoffmann almost euphorically in the Leipziger Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung (1812). Johann Michael Haydn was born on 13 September 1737 at Rohrau (Lower Austria), and like his brother Joseph, who was five years older, he was trained musically at the choir school of St. Stephan’s in Vienna. After a first appointment under the Bishop of Grosswardein (now Oradea on the Romanian-Hungarian border) he went in 1763 to Salzburg, where he remained in the service of the prince-Archbishop’s Court until his death. From 1780 onwards, however, the emphasis of his compositional output was on vocal rather than instrumental music, especially

„Jeder Kenner der Tonkunst und ihrer Literatur weiß, und wußte schon längst, daß Michael Haydn, als Kirchenkomponist, unter die ersten Künstler dieses Faches, aus jeder Zeit und jeder Nation gehört“, schreibt der romantische Dichter-Komponist E. T. A. Hoffmann geradezu euphorisch in der Leipziger Allgemeinen Musikalischen Zeitung (1812) über die Bedeutung des „Salzburger Haydn“. Geboren wurde Johann Michael Haydn am 13. September 1737 in Rohrau/Niederösterreich, und wie sein um fünf Jahre älterer Bruder Joseph wurde er im Kapellhaus zu St. Stephan in Wien musikalisch ausgebildet. Nach einer ersten Anstellung beim Bischof in Großwardein (heute Oradea, eine Stadt an der rumänisch-ungarischen Grenze), kam er 1763 nach Salzburg, wo er bis zu seinem Tod am fürsterzbischöflichen Hof bedienstet war, anfänglich als Konzertmeister, seit 1782 in der Nachfolge Mozarts

Composer
Johann Michael Haydn
| 1737-1806Johann 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.
