HARMONIEMESSE
BY JOSEPH HAYDN
Welcome to the course resource page for our course to learn, sing and record the Harmoniemesse (‘Harmony Mass’) by Joseph Haydn.
We learned this exciting choral work from Monday 20 January 2025 into mid-March 2025, with a week’s break in mid-February.
Everything needed for this course is available on this webpage.
SCORE
This score is Mass No. 14 in Bb Major (Harmoniemesse) by Franz Joseph Haydn, No.3538 published by Edition Peters, edited by Georg Göhler. This is the score used by Fieri Consort and Richard Gowers to create our rehearsal tracks.
It is no longer in print, although a small number of used copies might be available, e.g. through Abe Books or eBay.
For singers who prefer to use a paper score, we recommend having a copy of the PDF printed and bound by a local copy shop, a stationery store like Staples, or an online service like PrintPond (UK), Print Me 1 (US and Canada) or other similar websites.
Please note we are listing these businesses as examples and do not accept any responsibility for issues you may experience if you choose to order with them.
