Haydn Harmoniemesse:
deutsches oder italienisches Latein?

With Latin texts, the question always arises as to what the pronunciation should be: Italian, German or French.

For Haydn’s Harmoniemesse we have systematically dealt with this question and summarised it in a document.

The basis is the highly recommended book by Vera Scherr:
Vera U. G. Scherr, Aufführungspraxis Vokalmusik. Handbuch der lateinischen Aussprache, Kassel u. a., 1991.
