An instrumental oratorio
Haydn wrote his Seven Last Words in 1786/87 for Good Friday devotions in Cdiz. The task of composing a purely instrumental oratorio consisting of seven contemplative slow movements was by no means an easy one; but the outcome was a work of sublime nobility, which in Haydns own transcription for string quartet has enjoyed unfailing popularity ever since.
