Joseph Haydn Missa Cellensis

Cecilia Mass Hob. XXII:5, 1766

Read and write feedback

The outstanding features of Haydn’s Missa Cellensis in C major are the expression of heartfelt joy, the profoundly emotional and meticulous interpretation of the text, and the use of operatic techniques, for which Haydn was later accused of being "secular". As well as this, the Mass occupies an isolated position in Haydn’s oeuvre because of its mighty dimensions – it lasts about an hour, and the scoring includes trumpets and timpani. Anyone who studies this work will agree that it has "something indescribably touching" and "deeply moves the innermost of the soul", as a reviewer wrote in 1804.

    Comme la plupart des messes de Haydn, la Missa Cellensis est plus connue sous un autre titre que sous sa désignation originale : depuis 1820 environ, elle porte le nom de « Cäcilienmesse », car d’après les sources, elle dut être composée pour la confrérie viennoise de Sainte-Cécile. Le fait que Haydn ait consigné l’œuvre sous le titre de « Missa Cellensis » dans son catalogue d’ébauches a été interprété comme une confusion avec la Missa Cellensis (« Mariazeller Messe », Hob. XXII: 8) de 1782. Lorsqu’en 1969 fut retrouvée une partie de la partition autographe disparue intitulée « Missa Cellensis In honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae del Giuseppe Haydn [1]766 », on ne put cependant plus mettre en doute la justesse de la mention du catalogue. Depuis, il s’agit de faire la distinction entre deux messes homonymes : la « Große Mariazeller Messe » plus importante de 1766 et la « Kleine Mariazeller Messe » écrite 16 ans plus tard.

    Haydn compose la plus récente des deux messes à la commande d’un mélomane ; par contre, on ne peut émettre que des suppositions sur les raisons qui l’amenèrent à composer la

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.247

    Dorothea Schröder
    Translation: Elizabeth Robinson

    As with most of Haydn’s masses, the Missa Cellensis is better known under its pseudonym than under its original title: it has been called the “Cecilia Mass” since about 1820 as, according to the surviving copies, it was said to have been composed for the Cecilian Brotherhood in Vienna. Because Haydn included the work as “Missa Cellensis” in his ‘Entwurfkatalog’ (Catalog of Compositions), this was confused with the Missa Cellensis (“Mariazeller Messe”, Hob. XXII: 8) from 1782 onwards. When a part of the missing autograph score with the inscription “Missa Cellensis In honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae del Giuseppe Haydn [1]766” came to light in 1969, there could no longer be any doubt about the accuracy of the catalog entry. Since that discovery, it has been necessary to distinguish between the two masses of the same name: the larger-scale “Große Mariazeller Messe” of 1766 and the “Kleine Mariazeller Messe” composed 16 years later.

    Haydn was commissioned by a music lover to compose the later of the two mass settings; in contrast, the occasion for the 1766 setting of the Missa Cellensis remains a matter of

    Wie die meisten Haydn-Messen ist die Missa Cellensis unter einem Alias-Titel bekannter als unter ihrer originalen Bezeichnung: Seit etwa 1820 wird sie „Cäcilienmesse“ genannt, da sie der Überlieferung nach für die Wiener Cäcilien-Bruderschaft entstanden sein soll. Dass Haydn das Werk als „Missa Cellensis“ in seinen Entwurf-Katalog aufnahm, wurde als Verwechselung mit der Missa Cellensis („Mariazeller Messe“, Hob. XXII: 8) von 1782 interpretiert. Als 1969 ein Teil der verschollenen autographen Partitur mit der Aufschrift „Missa Cellensis In honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae del Giuseppe Haydn [1]766“ ans Licht kam, konnte an der Richtigkeit des Katalogeintrags jedoch kein Zweifel mehr bestehen. Seitdem gilt es, zwei gleichnamige Messen auseinanderzuhalten: die umfangreichere „Große Mariazeller Messe“ von 1766 und die 16 Jahre später entstandene „Kleine Mariazeller Messe“.

    Haydn komponierte die jüngere der beiden Messen im Auftrag eines Musikliebhabers; zum Entstehungsanlass der Missa Cellensis von 1766 können dagegen nur Vermutungen angestellt werden. Obwohl sie zu den bekanntesten Kirchenmusikwerken des 18. Jahrhunderts zählt, gibt ihre

  • As Kapellmeister to Prince Esterházy, Haydn composed numerous instrumental works and various operas, as well as making important contributions to the genre of church music, including fourteen Latin masses, of which only twelve are authentic or complete; these are complemented by motets and offertories, two important Te Deum settings, two Salve Reginas, a Stabat Mater, and the different versions of the Sieben Worte des Erlösers am Kreuze. The masses were composed continually between 1749 and 1802, except for the years 1783–1795, and therefore constitute the genre with which Haydn was occupied over the longest period of time. The six (authentic or complete) masses composed before 1782 are stylistically very different, and as well as short Missae breves there are more extended masses with rich orchestral scoring; by contrast the six so-called late masses, written from 1796 onwards, form a comparatively homogeneous group of more extensive works scored for large forces. With his two great oratorios Die Schöpfung (The Creation) (1798) and Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons) (1801) Haydn established the tradition of the German oratorio for middle-class music making.

  • Jos van Immerseel was born in Antwerp, Belgium and studied piano, organ, singing, harpsichord (with Kenneth Gilbert) and orchestral conducting (with Daniel Sternefeld). In 1973 he won the first Harpsichord Competition in Paris. His widely praised historically informed performances are the result of a constant dialogue between practice, musicological research, in particular his study of rhetoric in music, and the study of musical instruments. Over the years Jos van Immerseel has amassed an impressive collection of historic harpsichords and pianos enabling him to choose the most suitable instrument for a particular performance, which he can also use on concert tours and for recordings. He has received some of the most prestigious awards for his recordings as a soloist, including a Diapason d’Or and Le Choc du Monde de la Musique. Van Immerseel directs master classes in Europe, Japan and the USA and teaches at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris and the Sweelinck Conservatorium Amsterdam. He been a guest conductor with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Wiener Akademie, Musica Florea Prague and many other orchestras. In 1987, Jos van Immerseel founded his own orchestra, Anima Eterna. The orchestra and conductor have made a large number of prize-winning recordings for the Accent, Channel Classics and Sony record labels, and since 2002, for ZigZagTerritoires, Paris.

Numerous inaugural recordings – including Sweelinck’s entire body of work – were highly praised. Counting Edison, Grammy, Echo, Diapason d’or and Midi prizes among his achievements, he was made a knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 2010. In 2012, he was made an honorary citizen of Amsterdam. He is professor emeritus at the University of the Arts in Bremen, and maintains a demanding schedule as masterclass lecturer and competition judge. Personal details
