| Programme Note | This work was written especially for the organ Haydn chose for the Bergkirche, Eisenstadt where he is buried now with his skull returned in the 1950s. (His skull was stolen initially from his grave in Vienna & only returned to the Esterhazy family in the 1950s who then had him reinterred in the Bergkirche.). It uses a cypher of this name: B A D. Written for Haydn's organ in the Bergkirche, Eisenstadt, Austria. The UK premiere was at the West End Festival, Glasgow University Meorial Chapel, 15 June 2002, given by John Butt. |
