UCD Choral Scholars Concert - Haydn Missa in Angustiis (Nelson Mass)
Choral Scholars and The UCD Ad Astra Chamber Orchestra, together with Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass soloists will present a performance of Joseph Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis (‘Mass in Time of Affliction’). The performance will be conducted by Professor Harry White.
Ranked by the great Haydn scholar H. C. Robbins Landon as ‘arguably Haydn’s single greatest composition’, the Missa in Angustiis (also known in Haydn’s lifetime and thereafter as The Nelson Mass) is deeply imbued with the anguish of war. Composed in 1798, when Austria was in turmoil at the prospect of a French invasion, the work continues to solicit our attention because of its dramatic beseechments in the face of mortal conflict. But this great setting of the mass also affords an arresting expression of courage and solace that could scarcely be more germane to the current crisis in Europe, and above all to the war in Ukraine.
