Description:
Haydn's composition is characterized by a dramatic, extremely moving emotionality that is hard to resist. The work was originally conceived as a purely instrumental composition - as meditation music in seven slow movements with a prelude and final movement ("Il Terremoto" - the earthquake) for a Passion devotion. However, when Haydn heard a vocal arrangement of his work with a German vocal text in Passau in 1794 - an entirely obvious procedure, as Haydn had composed the themes of the movements in a "vocal spirit" - it spurred him on to create his own vocal version. The premiere took place in Vienna in 1796. With the flourishing of choral societies in the 19th century, this vocal version of the "Seven Words" became one of the most frequently performed pieces of Passion music ever. The critical Urtext edition of the work offers a revised musical text according to current scholarly standards.
