The Creation Hob. XXI:2 (Vocal Score)

Klaus Burmeister

£12.95

Composed in 1797-1798, Josef Haydn's 'The Creation' / Die Schöpfung was one of his greatest successes, a masterwork of Enlightenment musical thought, and remains as popular now with choirs and audiences as ever. Klaus Burmeister's authoritative edition is here presented in a classic vocal score, perfect for study or practical performance. It contains parallel English and German texts, beautifully set notation, and an informative concluding essay in German and English. Die Schöpfung Hob. XXI:2 (Klavierauszug) Haydn wurde während seiner England-Aufenthalte angeregt, ein Oratorium zu komponieren. Er war stark von den groen Oratorien Händels beeindruckt und wollte ähnliches in die mittlerweile gereifte Wiener Klassik transportieren. Die Solisten verkörpern die Erzengel und kommentieren die sechs Tage der Schöpfung. Der Chor wird meist als feierlicher Schlussakt eines Schöpfungstages eingesetzt.
