Haydn's Missa in B flat major has gone down in music history as the "Theresienmesse", even though the reason for this designation is unclear. In order to give fullest justice to this beautiful work and to be able to offer the widest possible range of expression in the interpretation, it is essential to practice each individual voice well. The efforts are rewarded: the choristers experience the sheer joy of making music, making a lasting impact on the listener.
The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate Audio or MP3 containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions:
- Original recording
- Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background
- Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively.
Performers: Simona Šaturová (soprano), Roxana Constantinescu (alto), Corby Welch (tenore), Yorck Felix Speer (basso) – Oregon Bach Festival Chorus, Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra – Helmuth Rilling

Wolfgang Hochstein
Als Fürst Nikolaus von Esterházy im Jahre 1790 starb, hatte Haydn ihm fast 30 Jahre lang als Kapellmeister gedient. Der neue Fürst Anton Paul löste die Hofkapelle auf und beließ Haydn formal im Amt, ohne dessen Dienste jedoch zu beanspruchen. Dieser verlegte seinen Hauptwohnsitz nach Wien und trat bald darauf seine beiden Reisen nach England an. Anton Paul verstarb bereits 1794, und Fürst Nikolaus II. bat Haydn um die Reorganisation der Hofkapelle. Neben deren Wiederaufbau bestand Haydns wesentliche Aufgabe darin, zum Namenstag der Fürstengattin Maria Josepha Hermenegilda alljährlich eine Messe zu schreiben und die Aufführungen selbst zu leiten. Da der Rufname der Fürstin Maria lautete, wurde ihr Namenstag jeweils im September begangen – und zwar nach damaliger Gepflogenheit meistens an dem auf das Fest Mariä Geburt (8. September) folgenden Sonntag. 1799, im Entstehungsjahr der Messe, fiel das Fest auf einen Sonntag, sodass die Theresienmesse genau am Fest Mariä Geburt in der Eisenstädter Bergkirche uraufgeführt wurde.

Composer
Joseph Haydn
| 1732-1809As 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.
