OFFERTORIUM

Composer: Michael Haydn

OFFERTORIUM is adapted from the offertorium of a choral Mass by Johann Michael Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1737; d. Salzburg, Austria, 1806). It first was treated as a hymn tune in the 1916 supplement to Hymns Ancient and Modern with William Cowper's "Sometimes a Light Surprises." This music suggests part singing and a stately tempo suitable for a solemn blessing.

Younger brother of the more famous Franz Joseph, J. Michael was a chorister, vocal soloist, and substitute organist at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. He served as music director to the bishop of Grosswarden, Hungary (1757-1762), and as concertmaster for the Archbishop of Salzburg (1762-1806). A devout Roman Catholic, Haydn composed both orchestral and church music, much of it still unpublished (and sometimes confused with his brother's music). He also edited Der Heilige Gesang zum Gottesdienste in der Romisch¬katholischen Kirche (1790). Some of his music has been used as sources for hymn tunes.
