Wolffheim II 523. The present work was translated into English in 1839 as The Life of Haydn in Letters. <br /> <br /> Carpani was an Italian librettist critic and poet. "Among various writings two books are particularly important: Le Haydine . and Le Rossininane ossia lettere musico-teatrali. . The former was plagiarized by Stendhal and this created a lively controversy. These books show that Carpani was very knowledgeable about all contemporary music and an astute judge of the renewal movement in the early 19th century. He was in touch with all the major composers of his period and accompanied Rossini on his celebrated visit to Beethoven in 1822."

Bound in brightly gilt embroidered silk binding the manuscript was probably produced for a court or private musical event.<br /> <br /> Both librettos had an English origin. The Creation text based on Genesis and Milton's Paradise Lost was taken from a manuscript libretto by an unknown author originally intended for Handel given to Haydn by the English impresario Johann Peter Salomon and brought back by him from England in 1795. The Seasons was loosely based on extracts from James Thomson's poem of the same title 1730 but van Swieten had greater leeway in rearranging the text.<br /> <br /> It was still considered a given in the early nineteenth century that vocal compositions in languages other than Latin and Italian would be translated into the language of the audience. The Creation was first performed in Italian in Milan in 1810 using Giuseppe Carpani's verse translation of van Swieten's libretto first published in Vienna in 1801. The manuscript contains an abridged version of Carpani's text with some variants. The Quattro stagione is also abridged and seems to be based on portions of an anonymous translation first published in Dresden in 1802 and used for the oratorio's first performances in Italian in 1811 in Milan and Bologna cf. editions of Milan: Mussi 1811 and Bologna: Ramponi 1811.<br /> <br /> The manuscript was exhibited in Turin in 1998: cf. Francesco Malaguzzi Legature romantiche piemontese: legature del periodo romantico in raccolte private no. 67 and p. 30. Malaguzzi stated that the manuscript contains "watermarks of the Biella papermakers the brothers Avondo datable to the third decade of the 19th century" but this cataloguer failed to see any watermarks.</p> unknown

Intermittent moderate foxing and browning. First Edition of the "Missa in tempore belli" one of six masses written by order of Prince Esterházy between 1796 and 1802. Hoboken Collection Vol. 9 1433. RISM H2498. <br /> <br /> "Vocal music constitutes fully half of Haydn's output. Both his first and last completed compositions were mass settings and he cultivated sacred vocal music extensively throughout his career except during the later 1780s when elaborate church music was inhibited by the Josephinian reforms and the first half of the 1790s in London ." <br /> <br /> "Notwithstanding their semi-private function for the Esterházy court Haydn's six late masses are consummate masterworks that exhibit no trace of provinciality or the 'occasional'. He exploits the complementary functions of soloists and chorus with inexhaustible freedom and telling effect; owing to his London experience the orchestra plays a newly prominent role. Four are in B perhaps because Bb was Haydn's usual highest pitch for choral sopranos he employed the same key for the final choruses of Parts 2-3 of The Creation and Part 1 of The Seasons. The other two are the only ones for which he provided descriptive titles: the Missa in tempore belli 'Mass in Time of War' 1796 in C features the bright trumpet-dominated sound typical of masses in this key; the Missa in angustiis 'Mass in times of Distress' later nicknamed 'Nelson Mass' 1798 in D minor and major is scored for a dark orchestra comprising only trumpets and timpani strings and organ. Both invoke the travails of the Napoleonic wars. The Agnus Dei of the former includes threatening timpani motifs and harsh trumpet fanfares while the Benedictus of the latter culminates in another harsh fanfare passage 'out of context'; both influenced the Agnus Dei in Beethoven's Missa solemnis. On the other hand except for the sombre Kyrie and Benedictus of the 'Nelson Mass' both are otherwise firmly optimistic; the ending of the latter is downright jaunty."
