Eja gentes Hob. XXIIIa C15

Scoring: Coro SATB, 2 Ctr, Timp, 2 Vl, Bc, Org conc

The Graduale pro omne tempore Eja gentes was discovered in a contemporary manuscript copy at the Lower Austrian pilgrimage basilica Sonntagberg. Joseph Haydn is named as the composer of this festive motet, very suitable for combination with classical Mass settings at services and concerts. The use of the organ as a solo instrument gives the work a particularly attractive character.
