PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

SCRIPTURE READING Psalm 96:1-9 One: The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

MISSA IN ANGUSTIIS Franz Joseph HaydnLORD NELSON MASS (1798) (1732-1809)

KYRIEThe first movement of the Mass communicates an atmosphere of terror and confusion. The text, “Lord, have mercy;

Christ, have mercy,” is most frequently set as a pious, even submissive plea; but in this Mass it becomes an anguished expostulation, such as one might utter when presented with a disaster of incomprehensible magnitude.

I.Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy.Christe eleison. Christ, have mercy.Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy.

GLORIAThe movement that follows, the Gloria, is the exact opposite of the first. It’s a song of exultant praise, directed to the same Creator whose world, in the first movement, is so fraught with perils. The world may be beset with dangers and

terrors, but is at the same time a glorious world of diverse miracles.

II.Gloria in excelsis Deo, Glory to God in the highest,et in terra pax and on earth peacehominibus bonae voluntatis. to people of good will.Laudamus te, benedicimus te, We praise you, we bless you,adoramus te, glorificamus te. we worship you, we glorify you.Gratias agimus tibi We give thanks to youpropter magnam gloriam tuam. because of your great glory.

IV.Quoniam tu solus sanctus, For only you are holy;tu solus Dominus, only you are Lord;tu solus altissimus, only you are most high,Jesu Christe, cum sancto spiritu Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spiritin gloria Dei Patris. Amen. in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

CREDOHaydn starts the Credo movement with a canon, as the altos and basses repeat exactly the music sung by the sopranos and

tenors. The repeating voices in canon are an ingenious way of providing reinforcement for the statement of belief. What follows is the central drama of the New Testament—the idea that God took on human form and lives on earth—the

Christmas story and all that follows it.

But because every birth on this earth foretells a death to come, this section also leads through the terrible events of the crucifixion, and the music reflects that agony, as the trumpets and the tympani play echoes of their motifs from the dark

Kyrie. In response, in one of the most transcendent moments in the Mass, a trio of soloists assures us that the birth and death were not futile but were in fact for our benefit—”pro nobis, pro nobis, pro nobis,” repeated three times, perhaps to invoke the

power of the Trinity. This assurance seems to transform the mood from one of agony and despair to one of acceptance.

V.Credo in unum Deum, I believe in one God,Patrem omnipotentem, the Father almighty,factorem coeli et terrae, maker of heaven and earth,visibilium omnium et invisibilium. all that is visible and invisible.Et in unum Dominum, Jesum Christum, And [I believe] in one Lord, Jesus Christ,Filium Dei unigenitum, only begotten Son of God,et ex Patre natum and born of the Fatherante omnia saecula. before all generations.Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, God from God, light from light,Deum verum de Deo vero, true God from true God,genitum, non factum, begotten, not made,consubstantialem Patri, one in substance with the Father,per quem omnia facta sunt, by whom everything was made,qui propter nos homines who for us men

Et unam sanctam catholicam And [I believe in] one holy, catholicet apostolicam ecclesiam, and apostolic church,confiteor unum baptisma I acknowledge one baptismin remissionem peccatorum. for the remission of sins.Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, And I await the resurrection of the deadet vitam venturi saeculi. Amen. and the life of the world to come. Amen.

VIII.Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Holy, holy, holyDominus Deus Sabaoth, Lord God of hosts,pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.Osanna in excelsis. Hosanna in the highest.

BENEDICTUSIn the “Benedictus,” Haydn chooses to focus on just one part of the text: “In the name of the Lord.” Together, the soprano

soloist and chorus imagine for us the sort of pomp and circumstance that would surround such a messenger.

IX.Benedictus qui venit Blessed is he who comesin nomine Domini. in the name of the Lord.

X.Osanna in excelsis. Hosanna in the highest.

AGNUS DEIThe “Agnus Dei” movement is a personal address, a prayer, appealing to a personal God through Jesus

for a personal blessing—”miserere nobis.”

That movement, and the Mass as a whole, ends in an exuberant setting of the last words of the Mass— “Dona nobis pacem—grant us peace.” We have been transported from the greatest depths of despair in the first

movement to a great and certain joy.

XI.Agnus Dei, Lamb of God,qui tollis peccata mundi, who takes away the world’s sins,miserere nobis. have mercy on us.

Agnus Dei, Lamb of God,qui tollis peccata mundi, who takes away the world’s sins,dona nobis pacem. grant us peace.

XII.Dona nobis pacem. grant us peace.

No applause please.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

MASS NO. 11 IN D MINOR, HOB.XXII:11,“MISSA IN ANGUSTIIS” (“LORD NELSON MASS”)Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

When Haydn returned to Austria in 1795 after his second highly popular sojourn in London, he resumed his limited duties with the princely Esterházy family. Prince Nikolaus II requested only that his internationally famous Kapellmeister produce a mass each year, to be sung on September 15, the name day of the gentleman’s wife, Princess Marie Hermenegild. Under this arrangement Haydn wrote his last six mass settings, between 1796 and 1802.

The Mass in D Minor was for the name-day celebration in 1798, the same year in which The Creation was completed and premiered in Vienna. It was also the year in which the British fleet commanded by Admiral Nelson dealt the first decisive blow to Napoleon Bonaparte by sinking his ships in the battle of Abukir Bay in Egypt. Popular sentiment quickly attached the name “Nelson Mass” to Haydn’s work, buoyed by the martial music for timpani and a trio of trumpets that abounds in the mass. Haydn scholar H. C. Robbins Landon has shown, however, that the composer did not know of Nelson’s success when he was composing this music. According to Landon’s dating of events,

As Haydn was writing the final pages, news of the great naval victory at Abukir reached Naples, and the town went mad with joy; the fastest couriers rode breakneck northwards, carrying the news to the Papal states, to Florence, Venice, and over the Austrian border. Haydn finished the “Dona nobis pacem” of his new Mass on August 31 and noted the date on the autograph manuscript: He had begun work on the Mass six weeks previously. As Haydn began rehearsals, the couriers had reached Graz, and on the very day of the first performance, September 15, Count Zinzendorf, a Viennese aristocrat close to court circles, noted [news of the victory] in his diary.

Haydn’s title for this apprehensive, foreboding work was “Missa in angustiis,” or “Mass in a Time of Anxiety.” He was if anything reacting to the fear and uncertainty of the Napoleonic wars (and the work’s unusual minor key supports this assumption), rather than to the victory of which he as yet had no knowledge. But the work became firmly associated with Nelson’s naval victory in everyone’s mind, and the name “Lord Nelson Mass” persists to this day.

The orchestral scoring is interestingly austere: strings with trumpets and timpani, and an important obbligato organ part that was played by the composer himself at the first performance. At a later date the mass was performed with the organ part arranged for woodwind instruments, possibly by J. N. Fuchs, but the original scoring omits woodwinds. Landon considers it the finest of Haydn’s twelve masses, and he also speaks of it as “in a sense ... Haydn’s greatest symphony, for in his late masses, Haydn found his last opportunity to sum up the 18th-century symphony in one golden harvest.”
