Wesleyan Chorale Performs Haydn's Mass in Time of War
Mass in Time of War (Missa in Tempore Belli), a 50-minute work composed by Franz Joseph Haydn, was written in 1796 at a time when Austria was waging a losing war against France as Napoleon, then a young general, continued to win every battle. Haydn, an Austrian, wished for the French to be driven from his homeland and included the sounds of canons and military fanfares in the Agnus Dei section to convey this time of war during the French occupation. The Dona Nobis Pacem that concludes the work is not only set as a prayer for peace but for Austrian victory. Besides the Haydn Mass scored for solo quartet and chorus, the Wesleyan Chorale will perform Nancy Faxon’s short motet Romans XII. This dramatic setting, from the letters of Paul, provides a contemporary balance to the Classicism presented with the Haydn Mass. The Wesleyan Chorale, conducted by Stephen Simons, professor of music at Texas Wesleyan, is an ensemble comprised of Wesleyan students, faculty, staff and alumni of the University. There is no charge for admission. Martin Hall is located at 1309 Wesleyan St. at the northeast corner of Rosedale Street and Wesleyan Street on the Texas Wesleyan University historic campus.
