MUSIC AND WORSHIP
FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732 – 1809)
The “Farewell Symphony” was literally a farewell to Prince Esterhazy at his estate in Vienna by his musicians who had been engaged year- round to play and now one by one they were leaving. Finally, only two violinists are left and the conductor is gathering up his score and is preparing to leave.
By now the Prince had taken the hint. Before the conductor leaves the room, the Prince stops him. He now gives his approval to the musicians’ demand for extra leave time. The Prince’s music director and conductor, Franz Joseph Haydn had made his point. Haydn, one of the most successful and famous composers in history came from humble surroundings. He was born in the small town of Rohrau in lower Austria to parents who loved music but were very poor. They recognized his talent for music and at age six he was sent to a nearby town for musical training and two years later became a choir boy in Vienna. For the next nine years he sang in the famed St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. When his voice began changing in 1749, his secure life as a choir boy ended and at age 17 he was dismissed from the cathedral and was miserable and penniless.
Haydn had been raised a Roman Catholic and frequently expressed gratitude to his parents for “bringing him up in the fear of God.” His parents had urged him to become a priest and at one point he agreed to enter the Servite order. But he concluded that God’s call on his life did not require him to enter the priesthood. Instead, it meant training and exercising his prodigious musical talents. In the eighteenth century there were few concert halls and public performances in Vienna. The best way for a musician to make a living outside the church was to be hired by a rich nobleman. It took time but in 1761 he was hired by Prince Paul Esterhazy. Moving to the Prince’s grand country estate marked the beginning of nearly three decades during which time Haydn would produce an enormous amount of music. He would complete 104 symphonies, 76 string quartets, masses, oratorio, opera, concerti, and dozens of chamber works. It is no wonder he became known as The Father of the Symphony, the Father of the String Quartet and even the Father of the Sonata.
For Haydn, music brought unparalleled purpose and joy. Unfortunately, his home life brought him pain and unfulfilled purpose. Haydn’s Creation completed at the age of 66 and his Stabet Mater are two of his most successful sacred works.
