The Seven Last Words

Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

The Seven Last Words is an orchestral composition by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786. The work comprises seven solemn, meditative movements separated by short orchestral introductions and codas, featuring slow tempi, lyrical themes and striking use of silence, and it sits at the intersection of Haydn's sacred and instrumental output, which he later adapted into chamber and vocal versions.
