Nickname

Some sources list a nickname of In Nomine Domini, while other sources don't mention it at all. Its probably the least commonly played of the six Paris Symphonies so I have a hard time finding information about the nickname and where it comes from. If you can find out anything about it (and its interesting) you might want to include it. DavidRF 02:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I'm going to go ahead and mention the subtitle in the article. I'll see if I can find any explanation for it. Heimstern Läufer 21:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Harrison, 1998) says nothing about that. I'll check (Hodgson, 1976). Anton Mravcek (talk) 23:40, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its been a couple years, so I can partially answer my own question. My understanding is that is was just a generically pious expression that he put on the cover page of many of his scores ("In the Name of the Lord") and he would often end his scores with Laus Deo ("praise be to God"). and for some reason it stuck for this for this particular symphony.[1][2][3]DavidRF (talk) 03:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the page on Joseph Haydn has a note on this. Larsen 1980, 81. Don't know why the name stuck for this work though. (I suppose it hasn't universally stuck, its not as widely accepted as 'Hen' or 'Bear' or 'Reine'.DavidRF (talk) 03:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
