Written in 1798, the Nelson Mass is one of Haydn's most popular works. Like The Creation and the other Hermenegild masses, the work met a demand for choral music that could be performed with orchestra.

This definitive and versatile edition is compatible with both scorings and also contains an orchestral reduction for rehearsal purposes.
