Missa Sancti Raphaelis
MH 87
Michael Haydn composed three of his masses in honor of the holy archangels – St Michael, St Gabriel, and the Raphaelismesse in honor of St Raphael now published. By avoiding the use of vocal soloists, it is one of the genre of "Missa in pieno". Four trumpets and two ad lib oboe parts added later by the composer give the work a festive sound in the baroque tradition. At the same time, elements of the 'sensitive style' feature too. The Gloria and Credo exist in two settings, a short version with polytextual passages and a longer version arranged by Haydn himself. The Carus edition, based on authentic performance material in St. Peter's Monastery in Salzburg, contains both versions, with the longer version published here for the first time.

Compositeur
Johann Michael Haydn
| 1737-1806Johann Michael Haydn a travaillé à partir de 1763 à la prestigieuse cour princière de Salzbourg. Au cours des 43 années qu'il y a passées, il a jeté un pont stylistique entre le classicisme précoce et le Biedermeier musical. Conformément à ses obligations de service, Haydn a contribué à pratiquement tous les genres cultivés dans la liturgie catholique : la connaissance de la fonction liturgique et l'interprétation musicale des textes religieux caractérisent la musique sacrée de Haydn. Johann Michael Haydn a d'abord été considéré par ses contemporains comme étant au même niveau que Joseph Haydn. Ce n'est que l'ascension fulgurante de son frère aîné, devenu le plus important compositeur instrumental de l'époque, qui a relégué Johann Michael Haydn dans l'ombre, d'où la joie de la découverte musicale de ces dernières années l'a de plus en plus fait sortir.
