EDITOR'S NOTE
Johann Michael Haydn (1737-1806) was an acclaimed and respected composer during his lifetime. Born in Rohrau, near the Austrian-Hungarian border, Haydn was a talented young singer in the famed Vienna Boys Choir. He was appointed Kapellmeister at the court of Grosswardein (now in Hungary) in 1757. Haydn served the Archbishop of Salzburg from 1763 until his death. A prolific composer, he wrote hundreds of compositions including a Requiem which influenced the more famous setting by Mozart.
Haydn's Petite Et Accipietis (Klafsky IIb/35), was completed on August 8, 1801. The text is a Gradual, the first sentence coming from the Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus, the second from the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 7, verse 8, and translates into English as follows: Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened up to you. For everyone that asks, receive; for he that seeks, find; to him that knocks, it will be opened. The work is scored for 2 oboes, 2 trumpets in Bb, timpani, 2 violins, viola, cello, bass and SATB chorus.
This edition is based upon the autograph score, preserved in the library of Conservatorio di Musica Luigi Cherubini in Florence, Italy, F.P.Ch 318. The score is laid out over sixteen pages, twelve staves per page, in the following order: 2 trumpets, timpani, 2 oboes, violin 1, violin 2, viola, soprano, alto, tenor, bass, cello/bass. The heading at the top of the first page of the score reads: Graduale de omni tempore.
