Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Following his ' Jugendmesse ” from 1749, church music played only a secondary role in Haydn's creative output. It was not until 1766 with the ' Cäcilienmesse ” and again in 1768-69 with the 'Great Organ Mass”, that Haydn returned to this genre of composition. This Mass in E-flat major belongs to the same period as the 'Sturm-und- Drang ” symphonies. Some of the remarkable f…

Born into a family that had lived in Florence since the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) entertained only a distant relationship with the music he heard at synagogue: a Renaissance church held more appeal for the Florentine artist than the Oriental décor of his forefathers' place of worship. It was only when he discove…

Par BACH JOHANN BERNHARD. Whoever reveres the name Bach will no doubt be interested in Johann Bernhard. Though there are few surviving works by J. B.

Johann Bernhard's chaco…

The poem inspired Bach to write one of…
