The Seven Last Words

Album by Joseph Haydn & Berliner Philharmoniker & Riccardo Muti

The Seven Last Words is an orchestral composition by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786 for a Good Friday service. It comprises seven slow, meditative movements framed by an introduction and a concluding movement, employing clear Classical-era textures, restrained harmonic language and marked contrasts in dynamics and gesture, and is an example of Haydn's late-period exploration of instrumental expression inspired by liturgical forms.
