Footnotes
The Missa in angustiis ('Mass in time of peril') was composed in July/August 1798 and first performed on 23 September in Eisenstadt. The Mass may have been associated with Nelson right from the beginning, as news of Aboukir would have reached Eisenstadt about a week before the first performance (it was also thought at one time that the announcement of victory became translated into musical terms as the trumpet fanfare at the the end of the 'Benedictus'). It now seems likely that it only became known as the 'Nelson' Mass when Nelson visited the town in 1800 with Sir William and Lady Hamilton and attended a performance: "Emma's relationship with Haydn was very warm. The composer's friend and biographer Griesinger recalled, 'In My lady Hamilton Haydn found a great admirer...for two days she never left Haydn's side'. Haydn presented her with two manuscripts of two of his songs, set Cornelia Knight's lines on the battle of the Nile to music, presented the music to Nelson, and accompanied Emma when she sang it" (Edgar Vincent, Nelson, Love and Fame, 2003, p.378-9).
