Joseph Haydn’s deeply meditative Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross (1786) for orchestra was composed for the Good Friday services at the Oratorio de la Santa Cueva in Cádiz, Spain. It was one of the most successful and widely performed works in his lifetime which prompted Haydn to create a choral version as well as the intimate transcription for string quartet which we present for the Saturday of Holy Week.
