Inspired by performances of Handel he had seen in London, Haydn concentrated his talents in the genre of oratorios and masses, providing us with a marvelous coda to a prolific career; his final masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eThe Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e, completed in his sixty-ninth year.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGrove's Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e states that Haydn \"put much of his greatest music into his oratorios\" and this is quite evident in the bold, inventive quality of \u003ci\u003eThe Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e. It is filled with a fresh feeling of innovation that can be attributed not only to what he had learned in London but also to the lasting influence of his great friend Mozart. The engaging melodies of the chorus and soloist are never overpowered by the orchestrations but are, instead, delightfully supported by a score that balances expression with refinement like none before.\u003cbr\u003e Based on an adaptation of a popular nature poem by James Thomson, the text, though secular in subject matter, expresses a reverence for nature perfectly suited for the oratorio form. It was adapted and translated by Gottfried van Swieten, who also collaborated on Haydn's previous oratorio, \u003ci\u003eThe Creation\u003c\/i\u003e. Today \u003ci\u003eThe Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e remains a remarkably dramatic work that musicians and scholars turn to again and again.\u003cbr\u003e This volume, reproduced from the authoritative C. F. Peters edition, is complete, with the most often performed English translation running directly beneath the German text in the score. Both singers and instrumentalists will find it an inexpensive and invaluable addition to their libraries; and music scholars will delight in this high-quality reproduction of the final statement from an influential genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/joseph-haydn-books\"\u003eJoseph Haydn\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Courier Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780486250229\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Courier Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £24.94","offer_id":47900681928881,"sku":"SB-0486250229-C3","price":24.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0486250229.jpg?v=1788842419"},{"product_id":"essential-collection-gold","title":"Essential Collection Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Music Sales America).

Players and students, music historians, and Haydn lovers will have inexpensive access to a uniform, strongly bound, and clearly printed modern edition of Haydn's finest pieces in complete score. Musicians, music students, and music publishers have a difficult time keeping up with Haydn, whose ceaseless production of original, first-rate work was legendary. He essayed most of the recognized genres, confessing upon several a legacy of expanded possibilities and clearly defined, characteristic form. Among these may be mentioned the symphony, the sonata, and perhaps most notably, the quartet. In a period of 50 years, Haydn (1732–1809) composed over 80 string quartets. Scholars are still debating questions of attribution and even completeness (unknown works by Haydn still turn up) and music lovers have had to make do with scattered, out-of-date, out-of-print editions of a few of the more familiar quartets. Haydn's affinity to the quartet began with his earliest works, when he perhaps more than anyone established the 4-movement structure of chamber music. In common with truly great and complete artists, who surpass early innovation to achieve their greatest work at the end, Haydn's last quarters are his best. This work contains the full scores of Op. 74, Nos. 1–3 (including \u003ci\u003eThe Horseman\u003c\/i\u003e); Op. 76, Nos. 1–6 (including \u003ci\u003eThe Bell\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Donkey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEmperor\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSunrise\u003c\/i\u003e); and Op. 77, Nos. 1, 2 (including \u003ci\u003eWait till the clouds roll by\u003c\/i\u003e).
