Haydn wrote his Lord Nelson Mass in 1798 making it one of six masses which
he wrote towards the end of his life. Bach’s organ trios consist of three strands
of music with two parts played on the organ manuals and the third part played
by the feet on the pedal board. It is akin to walking a tight rope.

Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) is known more for his operas than his sacred music.
In fact one commentator referred to Scarlatti’s sacred music as ‘comparatively unimportant’.
I believe that his setting of Salve Regina refutes that general statement.
