Haydn - Tristis est anima

[edders05]

If you got rid of the Sopranos, Altos and Basses the (one?) tenor might be OK.

oh my ears

[bayreuth79]

Ay! No me gusta.

[fluffytom82]

and when will you post a version which is sung in tune? :)

@Zironyxcyx This is Haydn. Lassus has also written music on the same text, Tristis est anima mea, but so have dozens of other composers.

Hotmusic, son d'accordissimo: solo le prime 4 note mi hanno fatto rabbrividire! La tristezza attanaglia anche me!

[hotmusic84]

Anche la mia è triste dopo aver sentito cantare cosi' scordato......!!!!

[Zironyxcyx]

Orlando De Lassus wrote the song....who was well before Haydn....hmm

[mjcollett]

ChoralWiki lists settings of this text by nine different composers, including Gesualdo, Croce and Martini. I don't think Haydn's version has any particular resemblance to the one by Lassus.

@Zironyxcyx Ahahaha, sorry man. This is an ancient text.
