Dover Music Scores: Nelson Mass and Mass in Time of War in Full Score (Paperback)

Two of Haydn's finest works, nominally associated with war, but richly devotional in spirit, and exemplary in their synthesis of vocal and instrumental music.

Both masses were written in the late 1790s.

Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) enlarged and enriched the many musical forms in which he composed -- symphony, quartet, sonata, mass, and oratorio among them -- with rare expressiveness, freshness of vision, and brilliant and refined musicianship.
