Joseph Haydn: The Creation In Full Score

Late in his career, Haydn, inspired by the oratorios of Handel, turned to composing oratorios himself, launching what would become a final brilliant and successful phrase of his extraordinarily rich and productive musical life. The Creation is the most majestic achievement of that phrase, a choral masterwork of seamless perfection. This edition in full score is reprinted from the authoritative edition published by C.F.Peters of Leipzig, complete with the original German and English texts.
