The oratorio ''The Creation'' represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn‘s compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio.

The oratorio ''The Creation'' represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn‘s compositional  output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio.
At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the  chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for a new kind of choral oratorio  which became one of the standard features of developing bourgeois concert life.

The plot is divided into three parts:

Part One portrays the first four days of creation with the  genesis of the world, the plants and the firmament, and in Part Two the animals are included.  Part Three takes as its theme the life of the first people, Adam and Eve, with the oratorio  culminating in two major closing choruses of praise and thanks. The text, translated from the English original by Baron van Swieten, Prefect of the imperial court library in Vienna, combines  prose texts of the creation story in Luther’s translation of the bible with complementary excerpts from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” (duration: approx. 110 mins).

  • New edition based on the Urtext from the Complete Edition of ''Joseph Haydn’s Works'', published  by G. Henle Verlag
  • Vocal score with a contemporary piano reduction by A. E. Müller, revised by A. Köhs
  • Excellent presentation on the page
