Joseph Haydn&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross&nbsp;was originally composed for an orchestral performance during a Good Friday service in C&aacute;diz, Spain in 1786, and was later adapted as an oratorio with soloists, choir, and orchestra. It is structured around seven slow movements, each corresponding to one of Christ&rsquo;s last statements, framed by an introduction and a concluding movement. Haydn uses calm tempi, expressive melodies, and subtle changes in harmony to encourage meditation rather than dramatic action. Listeners can expect an evening of profound reflection, witnessing a work that Haydn himself considered one of his greatest masterpieces, namely a musical sermon that continues to resonate with modern audiences.
