Haydn The Creation

Parts 1 and 2

Part of the Pinner Music Festival 2023

Add to my Calendar 17-06-2023 19:30 17-06-2023 21:30 36 Haydn The Creation This year's Pinner Music Festival ends with a performance of Parts 1 and 2 of Haydn's masterpiece 'The Creation'. Sung in English, guest soloists will take the parts of the 3 Archangels, Gabriel (soprano), Uriel (tenor), and Raphael (bass). The libretto follows the 6 days of creation as told in the book of Genesis; heaven and earth are created, followed by the sun and moon, land and water, plants and animals and, finally, man and woman. The score is fabulously inventive with wonderfully descriptive music, starting with the extraordinary and highly original orchestral introduction, the 'Representation of Chaos'. The chorus has a number of rousing numbers including the famous 'The Heavens are telling' and the concert ends, appropriately enough, with the joyous chorus, 'Achieved is the Glorious Work'.
