The Creation, Hob. XXI:2 - Joseph Haydn
Let’s go back—way
back. Back to the primordial ooze of Genesis, where Haydn musically illustrates
the formation of each flower, rock, and beast throughout this epic oratorio. Of
particular interest is the fabulously large orchestra which stretches even
modern ensembles to the brink, including an absolutely full wind and brass
section and one of the earliest appearances of the contrabassoon. Don’t miss
this opportunity to see (and hear) the instrument in person!
