• Noon Seven Last Words of Christ

  In 1785 the cathedral at Cadiz in southern Spain commissioned Franz Josef Haydn to write a passion, intended for annual presentation during the Easter season. It would consist of seven slow sonatas, each based on one of the "seven last words" of Jesus. Two additional movements from these sonatas: a solemn Introduction, and a fiery Finale depicting the earthquake which followed Jesus' death. The work was originally scored for full orchestra but Haydn also crafted this alternate version for string quartet
