Hasse: Salve Regina / Goebel, Musica Antiqua Köln

“

“During this visit, these young ladies were so obliging as to sing me a Salve regina, lately set by their father, in duo. It is an exquisite composition, full of grace, taste and propriety.” What more could one ask of an antiphon than that which Charles Burney found in an impromptu performance by Hasse’s daughters during a visit to their father in Vienna in 1772? Hasse composed several settings of the Salve regina of which Reinhard Goebel has chosen two for his interesting programme of vocal and instrumental pieces by the composer. The one answering to Burney’s description is in E flat and was composed in 1767. The other is a much better known A major setting of the Marian antiphon which he wrote during the 1730s or even earlier for the Venetian orphanage of the Ospedale degli Incurabili. The remaining pieces in Goebel’s programme are two attractive sinfonias for wind and strings – one of them also functioning as the overture to Hasse’s opera Cleofide (1713), the other as the overture to a pastoral, Asteria (1737) – a motet for mezzo-soprano, and an expressively intense, vibrant Fugue in G minor of doubtful authenticity, but perhaps the work of the Mannheim composer, Franz Xaver Richter.
