The Missa tempore Quadragesimae (Mass for the time of Lent), Klafsky 1:19, MH 553, is a mass without a Gloria by Michael Haydn. The work in D minor was written in 1794 in Salzburg, scored for a four-part choir and organ. [1] It is suitable also for Advent. [2]
History
Michael Haydn composed the mass as a director of music in Salzburg under archbishop Colloredo. [3] According to a recording's notes, the "Missa is perfectly in accord with the then current ideals for reform in the Catholic Church: functional, short, simple, modest and linked to the Gregorian tradition." [4]
Scoring and structure
The autograph is titled: "Missa, tempore Quadragesimae. à 4 Voci in pieno, col Organo. Di Giov: Michele Haydn" (Mass for Lent for four voices, with organ by Giov. Michele Haydn). [5] In the following table of the movements, the markings, keys and time signatures are taken from the choral score of the Carus edition, using the symbol for alla breve (2/2). [1]
| Part | Incipit | Marking | Key | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyrie | Kyrie | Un poco Allegretto | D minor | 6/8 |
| Credo | Credo | Vivace | D minor |
|
| Et incarnatus est | Corale. Adagio | free | ||
| Et resurrexit | Allegro | 3/4 | ||
| Sanctus – Benedictus | Sanctus | Larghetto | D minor |
|
| Benedictus | Andante | F major | ||
| Agnus Dei | Agnus Dei | Adagio | D minor | 3/4 |
Publication
The mass was first published around 1820, possibly 1827, in Augsburg by Anton Böhme, titled Missa in tempore Adventus et Quadragesimae and supplemented by J. Eybler, who added a Gloria and a second Et incarnatus. It appeared in Vienna in 1915, edited by Anton Maria Klafsky, in Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich, volume 45, by the Österreichischer Bundesverlag. [2]
Recordings
The mass was recorded in 2006 by the Ex Tempore choir, conducted by Florian Heyerick, together with other works by the composer. A review notes its "beautiful, concise soberness unlike anything in the Mozart oeuvre or that of anyone else", [6] pointing at the section "Et incarnatus est" which is free in tempo, similar to harmonized chant. [1] The mass was recorded in 2008 by the Purcell Choir, conducted by György Vashegyi, combined with other lenten music by the composer, titled Sacred music for the season of Lent. [7] A reviewer notes the homophonic setting and simple rhythm, resulting in a floating meditative sound. [8]
