Description:
The Radford University Department of Music presents Spring Oratorio on Monday, April 27, 2015 at Performance Hall inside the Covington Center.

The Radford University Choral Union presents the final choral concert of the 2014-2015 season. Featured major works are two examples of the Viennese Classical Mass tradition, Haydn’s “Missa Sancti Nicholai” and Mozart’s “Krönungsmesse.”

Accompanied by a festival orchestra and featuring student soloists this concert is part of a long-standing Radford University tradition of closing the season with major choral / orchestral works. Even though the Haydn piece is named after St. Nicholas, this is not a Christmas work. It was written in 1772 to honor the name day of Haydn’s patron Nikolaus I von Esterhazy.

The Mozart Mass was premiered on Easter Sunday in 1779. It was one of the first compositions completed by Mozart as the newly hired composer for the Archbishop of Salzburg. While written with a few years of each other in cities three hours distant from each other each setting of the Roman Catholic liturgy are exemplars of the individual stylistic characteristics of their composers.
