Symphony No. 26 in D minor is the first of Haydn's "Sturm und Drang" (Storm and Stress) symphonies. In these extraordinary works, he begins to expand the range of music formally, technically, and above all, expressively. This particular symphony employs Gregorian chant from the Passion Week service as part of its thematic material, in order to suggest a vision of life at once hopeful and grim.
