Details
Haydn’s seven meditations on Christ’s final words were composed for Lenten devotions on Good Friday at Cadiz Cathedral in 1787 with each musical episode followed by a short sermon by the bishop. Originally composed for orchestra, Haydn made an arrangement for string quartet shortly afterwards. In this performance Music Department Lecturer Philip Weller will provide text selections to complement the musical episodes.
