Music and Meditations on the words of Jesus on the Cross

Allow spoken meditations and sublime music to inspire your own reflections upon Jesus in your life.
------

In 1786 Franz Joseph Haydn wrote an orchestral work called “The Seven Last Words of Christ.” It is a series of musical reflections on Jesus’ words (“I thirst,” “It is finished”). Haydn quickly produced a version for string quartet, and around 1795 he completely remodeled the work as a full-scale oratorio.

The string quartet version is the one we will hear this evening. Each musical meditation will be preceded by a brief spoken reflection on the words themselves.

Haydn wrote the work for the Cádiz Cathedral in Spain, and the terms of the commission evidently intrigued and inspired him. “It was no easy task,” he wrote later, “to compose seven adagios, lasting 10 minutes each, and to succeed one another without fatiguing the listeners.” He succeeded admirably, as you are invited to know first hand.
