'Franz Joseph Haydn'

The concert season 2017-2018 of the Fundació Studium Aureum begins with this concert dedicated to two works by the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), both from 1772: Symphony No. 45 'Los adioses' and Missa 'Sancti Nicolai'.

The Symphony No. 45, known as the Symphony of Adioses, was written for Prince Nikolaus Esterházy during the composer's stay and the court of musicians at the summer palace of Eszterházy. It is an orchestrated work for two oboes, bassoon, two horns and strings: violins, violas, cellos and double basses.

The Mass 'Sancti Nicolai' was composed in honor of the prince for his name day St. Nicholas. Composed for voice and piano.
