J. Haydn: Paukenmesse translates to "J. Haydn: Paukenmesse" in English, as it is a proper noun referring to a specific work by the composer Joseph Haydn. The term "Paukenmesse" can be translated as "Timpani Mass," referring to the use of timpani in the composition.

Listen to Haydn's Paukenmesse in St. Stephen's Cathedral, where he sang as a choir boy and a few years later married his wife Aloysia. The Missa in tempore belli (Mass in Time of War) was given this name by Joseph Haydn himself, as he wanted to remind people of the threat to Vienna posed by Napoleon's troops. A grim atmosphere must have arisen when, during the world premiere in Vienna in 1796, the sound of the kettledrums echoed the drumroll of the French troops. Under the direction of Erasmus Baumgartner, the artistic director of the Vienna Boys' Choir, the masterpiece is being intensively worked on in several workshops by choir singers who have traveled from around the world. The grand finale is the performance with renowned soloists and the Vienna Cathedral Orchestra in St. Stephen's Cathedral. Performers: Sing with!
