St Ambrose Church, Woodend
Woodend Winter Arts Festival
PROGRAM
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Vesperae solennes de Dominica
Joseph Haydn Theresienmesse
Over the years we have made something of a feature of Haydn and Mozart sacred works at the Woodend Winter Arts Festival, in association with period-instrument orchestra Accademia Arcadia. While Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de Dominica is performed less frequently than his other Vespers setting, it is just as fine a work, joyful and exuberant. Haydn’s Theresienmesse, likewise, is less well known than his “Nelson” Mass, for example, but nevertheless a masterpiece of equal status.
