Description
Composed in 1798, Haydn''s ''Mass for Troubled Times'' was written against the backdrop of Napoleon''s campaign against the British in Egypt. It acquired its nickname the ''Nelson'' Mass, following news of the defeat of Napoleon by Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile in August 1798.
