Description
Replaces BA 4652
The "Missa in Tempore Belli", also known as the "Mass in Time of War", composed in 1796, makes prominent use of timpani as well as a wind fanfare at the beginning of the "Dona nobis pacem" – both clear and unusual references to a warlike context. One year after the first documented performance which took place in the year of its composition as part of the First Mass of a newly ordained priest, the work was performed again on the Feast of the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of soldiers. in this mass, Haydn paid particular attention to the instrumentation, with clarinets and horns being added in some movements.
This edition which is based on the new revised Complete Edition volume published by G. Henle Verlag replaces BA04652. A new edition was deemed necessary due to the discovery of further relevant sources and the correction of numerous errors.
Contents:
- Vorwort
- Preface
- Kyrie
- Gloria

A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile of the Autograph
These are hardcover, research-quality reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Hardcover
Some publishers print a hardbound, linen-covered version in addition to the standard paperback. The music inside is identical. These editions are beautiful though rarely cheap.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
For chamber pieces, playing scores have all of the parts on one system. There are not separate parts for each player.
Score (Full Score)
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
