Mozart’s Great Mass
ne of the delights of performing great works of
composers who flourished centuries before our own is
that we are sometimes afforded glimpses of the world
in which they lived. Letters, contracts, receipts, and other
primary sources document aspects of their lives that expose a
bit of the human element behind their work.
In our Sacred Music in a Sacred Space concert this
Wednesday evening, we celebrate two great gentlemen of
Austria, Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and his Symphony
No. 97, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), with his
Great Mass in C minor. While the creations of these men are
worthy of more study than could be accomplished in several
lifetimes, the circumstances and conditions surrounding the
music are worth considering.
At the risk of over-simplifying something of
extraordinary complexity, it is nonetheless safe to say that the
relationship between Wolfgang and
his father, Leopold, was fraught with
anxiety and difficulty. Wolfgang’s
move in 1781 from Salzburg, where
his family lived, to Vienna, was met
with Leopold’s strong disapproval. It
didn’t help that Wolfgang’s marriage to
acclaimed soprano Constanze Weber
on August 4, 1782 took place the day
before Leopold’s consent, given under
duress, arrived in the mail. On January 4, 1783, Wolfgang penned
a letter to Leopold in which he vowed to compose a new Mass
setting when he brought Constanze to Salzburg to meet the family.
One would presume that this was an act of appeasement. When
Wolfgang and Constanze made their journey to Salzburg later that
year, the reception was politely cool. The Great Mass premiered
at the Cathedral in Salzburg in October 1783, with Constanze
singing one of the soprano solo roles. When we perform the Mass
on Wednesday, and we get to the Christe eleison section, this is the
voice of Constanze. It is sublime. It is also heartbreaking, knowing
that Leopold never warmed to the marriage.
By the time Mozart and Haydn met (likely in 1784),
Haydn was considered without dispute the greatest composer
in Europe. At the time of their meeting, Haydn was 52 years
old and Mozart was 28. Scholars debate the level of interaction
between them, but these things we know: before their meeting,
Mozart was so taken with Haydn’s string quartets that he
composed six of his own and dedicated them to Haydn, to
the delight of the elder composer. We also know that the
o f

two periodically played in string quartets together at social
functions around Vienna, Haydn on violin, Mozart on viola.
Contemporary reports suggest that neither of them was
particularly good at these instruments! Finally, and most
telling, are the words of the men themselves, in praise of one
another. Haydn to Leopold Mozart upon the premiere of three
of Wolfgang’s string quartets (February 12, 1785):
Before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son
is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by
name; he has taste, and, furthermore, the most profound
knowledge of composition.
And this amusing anecdote from early Mozart
biographer Franz Niemetschek:
At a private party, a new work of Joseph Haydn was being
performed. Besides Mozart there were a number of other
musicians present, among them a certain man who was never
known to praise anyone but himself.
He was standing next to Mozart
and found fault with one thing after
another. For a while Mozart listened
patiently; when he could bear it
no longer and the fault-finder
once more conceitedly declared: ‘I
would not have done that’, Mozart
retorted: ‘Neither would I, but do
you know why? Because neither of
us could have thought of anything so appropriate.”
Shortly before Mozart’s untimely death, Haydn made
his first of two tours to London, at the request of violinist and
impresario Johann Peter Salomon. Haydn had long been employed
as Kapellmeister in the court of the Esterházy princes in rural
Hungary. In 1790, his contract was reduced, having the dual effects
of reducing his salary, but allowing him to travel and concertize
extensively. Since his music was already well known and loved in
London, the tours across the Channel made him a rather wealthy
man. His Symphony No. 97 in C Major, which premiered in May
1792, is one of the twelve “London Symphonies,” composed on
those tours. As with most of Haydn’s music, the joy and humor
contained therein are infectious and delightful.

Lay Ministers’ Enrichment Program
of the Season:
Sacred Music in a Sacred Space begins
its Choral season with Mozart’s Great
Mass in C minor — a majestic setting
featuring double chorus. An intensely
personal, rule­‐breaking composition, the Mass is a riveting
statement about the complex mixture of joy and pain in
human relationships, one that transcended the proscribed
Austrian Mass tradition at the time of its composition.
The God Whom Lay Ministers
Serve and Represent:
Exploring Our Experiences with God in Personal
Prayer, in Our Liturgical Lives, and in Our Ministries
with Dr. Janet Ruffing, RSM
Professor, Yale Divinity School &
Professor Emerita, Fordham University
Join Dr. Ruffing as she explores who God
reveals God’s self to be in and through
our ministries, in and through our prayer lives, and in
and through our psychological make-up. Of necessity,
we will also look at our unconscious projections and
representations of God and how these affect our sense
of the God we both serve and represent as lay ministers.
