Volume 14 (2024): Reassessing Haydn's Sacred Music
The international conference “Reassessing Haydn’s Sacred Music” held in Eisenstadt in June of 2023, yielded some thoughtful and new perspectives on the structures, aesthetics, performance situations, and influences related to this repertoire. Robert B. Wrigley’s thorough report on the conference appeared last year in volume 13 of this journal (https://remix.berklee.edu/haydn-journal/vol13/iss1/4/), and I encourage you to read it. Along with the Internationale Joseph Haydn Privatstiftung Eisenstadt, the Haydn Society of North America wishes to thank the following organizations for their support of the 2023 “Reassessing Haydn’s Sacred Music” conference: Government of Burgenland, Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies, Raiffeisenlandesbank Burgenland, School of Performing Arts of the Rochester (NY) Institute of Technology, Joseph Haydn Privathochschule, and the Barmherzige Brüder Hospital and Convent.
The current volume 14 of
HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America includes papers by Dexter Edge and Janet K. Page on Marian works by Haydn, which feature many beautiful and interesting plates of primary sources. Keeping with the Marian topics, this volume of HAYDN Online also includes an article by Henry Stratmann proposing a Rosary-inspired reading of some of Haydn’s symphonies from the late 1760s and early 1770s. Other conference papers, along with some additional Haydn studies will be published in the
Eisenstädter Haydn-Berichte, Vol. 13: Haydn, Sacred Music, and Perspectives of the Viennese Classical Triad (Vienna: Hollitzer), edited by Walter Reicher and Michael Ruhling, which should be available in February or March 2025.
