Music reviews of Michael Haydn: Requiem; Missa in Honorem Sanctae Ursulae

Music Review: A Great, Sparkly Gem
Rating: 4 Stars

Michael Haydn lives in the titanic shadow cast by his elder sibling, Joseph. The life he lived, apparently, was a bit of a bohemian one -- Mozart's father disapproved of Wolfgang's friendship with the man.

One anecdote will suffice. Haydn, composer to the Archbishop-Elector of Salzburg (the same Archbishop with whom Mozart had his difficulties), owed his employer a set of string duos, for violin and viola. In bed, and very sick -- whether from a hangover or not is unclear -- Haydn told Mozart of his predicament. Mozart, for whom composing was simply a matter of tapping his bottomless keg of material, assisted his friend by producing the required set of duos. Not only that, Mozart made a point of imitating Haydn's style (even down to detail like use of appogiaturas).

However, a story like this tends to diminish the man's actual accomplishment. Apparently, his reputation as a composer of religious music was, in his own time, at least the equal of his brother's. This is a large claim, especially taken in light of J. Haydn's monumental series of 12 "name day" masses for the Esterhazys at the end of his career.

Here, though, that claim is more than vindicated. The "Gloria" movement in particular, from the "Sanctae Ursulae" mass, is probably the best single movement from the brothers' ouevre taken together. It begins with the main theme stated in unison by the lower orchestral voices and the entire chorus, a gesture of Tchaikovskian vastness, just sort of hanging there in space and glowing white-blue, like a great sparkly gem of a sun. This motive is threshed out in full symphonic manner through the rest of the movement, only to return once more, again proclaimed in enormous unison, at the conclusion. Both the theme, and its handling, are of unique quality and imagination.

Throughout both works, Michael demonstrates a suavity in his orchestration and symphonic conception which equals, and in at least one instance, surpasses, that of his brother.
