Voices of Ascension Mozart and Haydn

Vienna in the 1780's was home to both Mozart and Haydn. There, at the end of his life, Mozart wrote Ave Verum Corpus, a work that exemplifies his remarkable ability to convey compassion. By contrast, Exsultate Jubilate, written when he was only 17, bursts with joy. Haydn was already 59 when his friend Mozart died in 1791. It was in the years after this that Haydn wrote his greatest and most iconic works. Among them, the Lord Nelson Mass may well be his single finest composition. Haydn composed this work, also known as Mass for Troubled Times, during a period of great world stress, much like our current time. And yet it looks past that, with music of victory and brilliant joy.
