The Dartmouth Colle e Musical Fest·val announces - t e first American performance of a composition by Haydn. ~eems a bit late - Haydn having lived back n the Eighteenth Century. However, the stor of what happened - will make matters clear. When the Soviet Red Army occupied Austria, at the end of World War Two - Russian soldiers looted an old aonaatel'1,. Carting plunder away - in trucks. Then, as they drove otr, the soldiers in one truck tossed away things they didn't want. Including - an old chunk of music manuscript. This was picked up - by an Austrian farmer. Later - coming to the notice of an American musicologist in Vienna, H. Robbins-Landon. Who recognized it - as a hitherto unknown composition by Haydn. A mass - written in eventeen Fifty. Well, I bet I can guess - what that mass by Haydn is like. Basing the guess - on an anecdote. Papa Haydn, as they called him, was once criticized - forte church music he wrote. So lively, so full or gaiety - I MUSIC - 2 noth n solemn about it at all. To which Papa Haydn repl l ed - that the thought or God made him irresistibly cheerful. And he hoped - the Heavenly Father would forgive him for worshipping Him in h1s own cheerful way. o the mass performed at the Dartmouth Music Festival is likely to --£ii:.~ be - • merrN and sprightl~•A:•■111.
