The request for Haydn to write The Seven Last Words came from a priest in
Cádiz to mark Good Friday. Setting the words of Christ gave Haydn the basis
for the construction of seven slow and meditative movements to be played by the
orchestra as the Bishop descended from the pulpit to pray. The following year
Haydn arranged the work for string quartet and a version for keyboard was
prepared. To this version, which he did not prepare himself, Haydn gave his
wholehearted approval noting that it was ‘very good and made with
particular care’.
