The Symphony No. 7 in C major (Hoboken I/7) is a symphony by Joseph Haydn, sometimes called "Le midi." The symphony was most likely composed in 1761, together with the other two of the Day Trilogy, No.s 6 and 8.[1]
It is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo, [2] and exhibits "many concertante features;" indeed, the principal players of each of the string sections "have solos," while the winds are given fairly difficult parts.[3] The work is in five movements:
- Adagio - Allegro
- Recitativo
- Adagio
- Minuetto und Trio
- Allegro
Discography
Naturally, it makes sense to group this symphony with the two others of the Day Trilogy, and that's precisely what Neville Marriner does for his recording with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields on Philips, as well as Roy Goodman with the Hanover Band on Helios and Nicholas Ward with the Northern Chamber Orchestra on Naxos Records.
Despite the recommendations of musicologists (such as Robbins Landon) that Haydn's early symphonies ought to be played with continuo[citation needed], not all recordings of this symphony include harpsichord continuo. Of the recordings mentioned so far, Harnoncourt's and Marriner's do not, while Fischer's and Ward's do.
