Composer Franz Joseph Haydn Franz Joseph Haydn's bio information March 31, 1732 - May 31, 1809 Born: March 31, 1732, Rohrau, Austria Died: May 31, 1809, Vienna In the mid-1780’s, Haydn received the commission to compose the Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross; for the incorrigibly cheerful Haydn, writing seven successive dour movements was a particularly difficult undertaking, but the effort resulted in one of his most-admired works. Haydn’s professional success was not matched in his personal life. His marriage to Maria Anna Keller in 1760 produced neither a pleasant, peaceful home nor any children. Haydn’s wife did not understand music and showed no interest in her husband’s work. Her disdain went to the extremes of using his manuscripts for pastry pan linings or curl papers. In June 1792 Haydn left London for Germany. On his journey he stopped at Bonn, where the 22-year-old Ludwig van Beethoven was introduced to him, and it was arranged that the tempestuous young composer should move to Vienna to receive Haydn’s instruction. In a letter of 1793 to Beethoven’s patron, the elector of Cologne, Haydn stated that "Beethoven will one day be considered one of Europe’s greatest composers, and I shall be proud to be called his teacher."

Notes Text from Psalm 42:2 Manoah. C. M.
Lyrics Jerusalem, my happy home! Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end, In joy, and peace, in thee! Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths have no end? Jerusalem! my happy home! My sould still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joy shall see.
