THE CREATION Haydn
After Handel’s Messiah, this is the next most important oratorio, both chronologically and in popularity. It tells the story of God’s forming of everything in the world – night and day, the earth, air and sea, and all that inhabits them, including humans portrayed by Adam and Eve – as told in the first two chapters of the book of Genesis. The music has thrilling drama and tender description all under-scored by Haydn’s mastery of melody and orchestration. Look out for the serpent!
