Missa Sancti Nicolai Nicolai Mass by Franz Joseph Haydn 4-Part - Sheet Music

SKU: CA.4060591

Key: G major. Latin.

The popular "Nicolai Mass" by Haydn is both diverse and traditional. Haydn conveys this exhilarating jubilance through numerous wide leaps, in particular sixths and octaves, that the chorister has to hear well in order to reach the high notes correctly (the soprano has to sing up to B2). With its syncopated counterpoint, the short, virtuosic "Amen" fugue in the "Gloria" requires a firm sense of rhythm – good that one can hear and practise this slowly using the Carus Choir Coach! / The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate Audio or MP3 containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions: 1) Original recording, 2) Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background, 3) Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively. / Performers: Ann Hoyt (soprano), Luthien Brackett (alto), Stehen Sands (tenore), Richard Lippold (basso) – Trinity Choir, Rebel Baroque Orchestra – J. Owen Burdick.
