Joseph Haydn’s »Creation« can be described as the most important oratorio of the Classical period. Together with George Frideric Handel’s oratorios, it had an impact right up to the High Romantic period. The three-part work sets the biblical account of the creation of the world to music in a tremendous wealth of colour, depicting a paradisiacal world with an impressive abundance of life. The choir responds to the narrative with songs of praise, of which »Die Himmel erzählen« has become one of the most popular vocal works.
