Missa Brevis Haydn y Requiem Fauré

A sacred classical music programme in Madrid pairing Haydn's Missa brevis and Fauré's Requiem, two vocal works rooted in liturgical tradition, at the Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes.

This programme brings together two works of sacred vocal music: Joseph Haydn's Missa brevis and Gabriel Fauré's Requiem. Haydn's Missa brevis, by the Austrian Classical-era composer, sets the ordinary parts of the Mass in a concise form. Fauré's Requiem, written for the Mass for the Dead, is distinguished by its serene tone and by its omission of the Dies irae sequence; the In paradisum stands out within it.

This is a classical music recital that links two forms of the Mass, that of the Austrian composer and that of the Frenchman, within a single programme. The venue is the Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes in Madrid, a space that hosts concerts and performances.

The programme is designed for those seeking choral music rooted in liturgical tradition, from Viennese Classicism to French Romanticism.
