Joseph Haydn: Passion - The Seven Words Of Our Saviour On The Cross

Haydn's setting of the Passion of Christ in full vocal score. The work was originally written in 1786 as a program of instrumental music to accompany the Seven Words Of Jesus On The Cross, for a service at Cadiz. Haydn then embellished the work into a full Oratorio for Lent services at the Cathedral of Cadiz. This final version is presented here for SATB chorus and a Piano reduction of the orchestral material.
