The Seven Last Words of Christ

Album by Joseph Haydn & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

The Seven Last Words of Christ is an orchestral composition by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786. Musically, it is a solemn, meditative multi-movement sacred work that juxtaposes an extended orchestral introduction with introspective slow movements rooted in late-Classical idioms, and Haydn subsequently arranged it as a string quartet and later as an oratorio, reflecting its role in his engagement with liturgical and dramatic forms.
