Boston Baroque presents one of Joseph Haydn’s greatest and most dramatic choral masterpieces—his Lord Nelson Mass, also known by its original title Missa in Angustiis (“Mass in Troubled Times”). Composed in 1798 during a period of political upheaval and uncertainty as Napoleon’s forces threatened Europe, this monumental mass reflects both the anxiety of the age and Haydn’s enduring belief in hope and triumph.
Written at a time when Haydn was at the height of his creative powers, the Lord Nelson Mass pairs soaring vocal lines with electrifying orchestral writing, including prominent parts for trumpets and timpani that give the work its bold, martial character. The nickname “Lord Nelson Mass” was added shortly after the Mass’s premiere when news of Admiral Horatio Nelson’s victory over Napoleon reached Austria, forever linking this powerful music with the idea of victory and resilience.

Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Ravel Revealed
Let’s revel for Ravel on his 150th birthday year! We’ll celebrate this French composer and fabulous orchestrator, Maurice Ravel, with fan favorites and pieces that are new to our orchestra repertoire. Opening with the too rarely-performed, lively, and colorful Alborada del gracioso, the program progresses through a homage to French Baroque composer François Couperin for chamber orchestra and the Mother Goose Suite, orchestrated by the composer from a two-hand piano piece. The magnificent and contemporaneous Piano Concerto in G has a jazzy blues component, and features pianist Marika Bournaki. We end on a high note with 1928 top hit, Boléro, featuring the orchestra as soloists and together.
