Singer

Inspired by hearing Handel in London – and with the parting gift of a libretto intended for that composer – Haydn was inspired to write his most ambitious work to date. From ‘chaos’, where classical harmonic logic is repeatedly contradicted, it moves on to the most famous C major chord in music on “Let There Be Light”.

The biblical days of creation are then depicted in a sequence of solos, each ‘day’ ending with a powerful chorus, culminating in the arrival in Eden of a pre-lapsarian Adam and Eve.
