Joseph Haydn

Salve Regina E-Dur Hob. XXIIIb:1

With the "Salve Regina in E major" (Hob. XXIIIb:1), Joseph Haydn created a resonant masterpiece of sacred vocal music that enchants listeners with its heartfelt devotion and melodic beauty. This Marian antiphon unfolds an incomparably radiant, luminous character, carried by an exquisite interplay between the expressive soprano solo and a four-part mixed choir (SATB). The transparent orchestration featuring two violins, cello, double bass, and organ (without viola) lends the work a chamber-like intimacy and sublime elegance. This high-quality full score from the renowned Doblinger Musikverlag provides conductors and ensembles with the ideal foundation for moving performances in concert halls or festive liturgies. An indispensable gem of the Viennese Classical era for discerning choirs and vocal soloists!
