The Missa in angustiis (Mass for troubled times), commonly known as the Nelson Mass (Hob. XXII/11), is a mass setting by the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. It is one of the six masses written near the end of his career that are seen as a culmination of Haydn's composition of liturgical music.
The text, slightly altered, is taken from the Latin Mass of the Catholic church. It consists of the following six movements. Typical performances last around 40 minutes. The choir sings in all movements.
1. Kyrie, Allegro moderato, D minor, 3/4 (soprano solo)
2. Gloria, Allegro, D major, common time (soli soprano, alto, tenor, bass [SATB])
Qui tollis, Adagio, B-flat major, 3/4 (soli soprano, baritone)
Quoniam tu solus sanctus, Allegro, D major, common time (soli SATB)
3. Credo, Allegro con spirito, D major, alla breve
Et incarnatus est, Largo, G major, 3/4 (soli SATB)
Et resurrexit, Vivace, D major, common time (soprano solo)
4. Sanctus, Adagio, D major, common time
Pleni sunt coeli, Allegro, D major, 3/4
5. Benedictus, Allegretto, D minor, 2/4 (soli SATB)
Osanna in excelsis, Allegro, D major, 3/4
6. Agnus Dei, Adagio, G major, 3/4 (soli SATB)
