Theresienmesse
The Theresa Mass in B flat major by Joseph Haydn ( Hob.XXII: 12), which is one of his last six major trade fairs, was composed in 1799 and received its popular nickname, because the work of the wife of Francis II / I, Marie Therese should be dedicated. Composed Haydn has the show for his employer Prince Nikolaus II Esterházy, for which he wrote all of his late masses.
