The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross (1840 version for flute & string quartet)

Album by Joseph Haydn & Francisco Asenjo Barbieri & Rafael Ruibérriz de Torres & La Spagna

The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross (1840 version for flute & string quartet) is an album of music by Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn, released in 1840. The work is a Classical-era sacred composition arranged for a chamber ensemble of flute and string quartet, characterised by contemplative, slow movements and contrapuntal interplay that translate its liturgical structure into purely instrumental terms, and the 1840 version reflects 19th-century practices of adapting earlier sacred works for domestic and concert performance, extending Haydn's late sacred music beyond its original ecclesiastical context.
