Quarterly update Q2/2022

New editions

Albrechtsberger, Johann Georg

  • Missa in D major (A-Wn HK.5/I)
    This mass bases upon the autograph manuscript and includes a gradual and offertory.

Caldara, Antonio

We continue our Caldara@Dresden project with editions of the remaining masses extant in Dresden:

Danzi, Franz Ignaz

Haydn, Johann Michael

  • Litaniæ de Venerabili Sacramento MH 228
    We managed to find a digital version of the autograph manuscript and thus updated our edition. A comparison to the 1823 print revealed that the latter edition contained several errors and mistakes and was highly inaccurate regarding bass figures, slurs, and dynamics.
  • Vesperæ de Dominica MH 321
  • The Proprium Missæ project now also includes MH 491 and 503.

Hofmann, Leopold

  • Missa festiva ProH deest
    A cute Missa brevis which we consider a genuine composition by Hofmann, even if it is absent from Hermine Prohászka’s catalogue of works.

Scheibe, Johann Adolph

Tůma, František Ignác Antonín

Performances

In two concerts entitled Austrian Encounters (21 and 22 May 2022), the Australian Boys Choir, The Vocal Consort and Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Dinopoulos, have performed Michael Haydn’s Litaniæ lauretanæ MH 71. We had the honor of contributing to a blog post introducing Haydn’s work.
