Missa in C sub titulo Sti. Michaelis
MH 12, 1758 (cavor)
Johann Michael Haydn’s masses are masterpieces of their genre. Carus is publishing these important works in Urtext editions.
Of the thirty masses, almost two thirds contain a saint’s name as part of their title. The names relate to the dedications of monasteries or parish churches, name days, ordinations or consecrations, diocesan patron saints, or anniversaries. Three masses with the names of Archangels survive (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael), all early compositions by Haydn in the concise Missa Brevis form. He probably composed the Michaelsmesse MH 12 in Vienna before 1758. This mass belongs to the festive type “brevis et solemnis” because of its scoring with two trumpets.

Composer
Johann Michael Haydn
| 1737-1806Johann 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.
