The Seven Words

Album by Joseph Haydn

The Seven Words is an orchestral composition by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786. Written for liturgical use, the work comprises seven slow, contemplative movements framed by an introduction and a final meditation, employing late-Classical harmonic language and expressive string textures, and it represents Haydn's engagement with sacred music, later being arranged for string quartet and for liturgical performance with chorus.
